00:00Now, the situation in West Asia remains very precarious.
00:03While the ceasefire is holding, but just about.
00:06The United States has bombed two Iranian boats that the U.S. says was trying to lay sea mines.
00:12They've also bombed Bandar Abbas, a missile launch site at Bandar Abbas,
00:16which the United States says was posing a threat to U.S. air operations in the area.
00:22They've called it a defensive strike.
00:23Iran says there will be a response.
00:26The ceasefire is holding as of now.
00:28But what's happening in Israel right now?
00:31India Today's Shivani Sharma is reporting from ground zero.
00:35She's reported from the area where an Iranian missile strike had killed people
00:41who were trying to rush to an underground center.
00:43India Today also spoke to the international press spokesperson of the Israeli police
00:47who detailed how a synagogue was targeted and how a residential area
00:52now looks so devastated after those strikes.
00:56I'm right now in Israel's beach, Shamash, which has an impact site where nine people were killed.
01:03They were killed in the Iranian cluster missile attack here.
01:08You can see this is the rubble of those buildings where people lived.
01:12There was a synagogue out here.
01:14And this is how the Iranian missiles have been hitting Israel, not only this time, the 40-day-long war,
01:22but last year also, the 12-day-long war where multiple buildings were hit by Iranian ballistic missiles.
01:29To tell us more about this impact and how Israel is countering these threats,
01:33I have with me Lieutenant Dean.
01:35He is the spokesperson of the Israeli police.
01:38Warm welcome on India Today.
01:40So we see here this rubble.
01:43This was the Iranian cluster missile, you see.
01:46This was a direct hit from the Iranians' terror regime towards our civilian communities.
01:51And I want to thank you for coming here to witness it with your own eyes
01:54because you got to see that there's no military installation around us.
01:58You're in the heart of a residential community.
02:00And this was the pattern that we saw daily by the terror regime in Iran,
02:05focused not just on killing their own civilians, but targeting ours here in Israel.
02:11You can see the rubble here of a synagogue that once stood.
02:14You can see the residential houses here that belong to family members.
02:19Now, unfortunately, there were nine fatalities here.
02:22And it breaks our heart.
02:24What do you have to say to the people of the Israel?
02:28And what do you think, what do you expect out of the situation that is now emerging?
02:34My message to Israelis is the same as it always is.
02:38We're united.
02:39We're standing together.
02:40And just as we have been.
02:42We've gone through some rough times over the last few years with the war,
02:46of the terror regimes trying to annihilate us.
02:49They consistently call for our destruction.
02:51And we know that you put all the bots on the side,
02:55the misinformation, delegitimization campaigns that target Israel
02:59and paint it out to be a bad guy, so to say.
03:04We know that all is that nonsense.
03:05And we know that we're standing together with our friends, our allies, just like our...
