Tel Aviv, 01 March (H.S.): Israel accused Iran of deliberately targeting civilians with ballistic missiles in residential areas, branding the attacks a war crime on Sunday.Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein stated clear evidence showed missiles aimed at civilian zones, not military sites, claiming children, elderly, and foreigners were hit.

Speaking near a struck building, he noted a Filipina woman's death and dozens injured, adding such assaults extend beyond Israel to other regional nations.Our military actions target only military installations, while Iran strikes civilian areas, Marmorstein emphasized.

Israel's quarrel is with Tehran's ruling regime, not its people. He urged the international community to halt civilian targeting and curb rising violence.Tensions surge as Iran claims self-defense rights, while Israel deems the strikes international law violations amid the broader Middle East crisis.
