Emergency crews searched through rubble and removed injured residents on stretchers in Tehran on Monday after an airstrike hit a building in the Iranian capital.
Rescue teams worked atop collapsed buildings as damaged vehicles lined the streets and stuffed toys lay scattered on the ground.
Resident Lina Shabestari said the strike appeared to target an old Martyrs Foundation building but hit surrounding homes instead, killing people and leaving many trapped. She said her home was damaged and all the windows were shattered.
Teran resident Lina Shabestari describes what happened, “There used to be an old building here that belonged to the Martyrs Foundation. No one was there. They aimed for that and hit the residential buildings beside it. People have died, and many are still trapped under the rubble. Our home is damaged, and all the windows are shattered. I honestly don’t even know how to describe how I feel, it’s absolutely horrible.”
She adds, “We all live here. We’ve been living here for 30 years. There are no IRGC forces, no military personnel, and no base here. All of these are homes. We know everyone. We know all the neighbours and who lives here. There’s nothing here. There was a Martyrs Foundation library there where I used to study.”
The Israeli military said on Monday it was carrying out air strikes on Tehran, Shiraz and Tabriz against what it described as the infrastructure of the “Iranian terror regime.”
