At least one woman died and several others were injured after Iranian missiles hit Israel on Friday, media reports said, further escalating tension in the region.

A woman was killed when a weapon fragment fell to the ground in the Israeli city of Ramat Gan, Israeli Police told CNN.

This is the first fatality reported in Israel after Iran launched missiles at the nation.

Israel's envoy to the US Yechiel Leiter confirmed the death of the woman in the attack.

“We faced three salvos of ballistic missiles fired from Iran today, about 150 in total,” Yechiel Leiter told CNN.

“We expect that the Iranians, who have a considerable volume of ballistic missiles, somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2,000, will continue to fire them,” he said, while accusing Iran of targeting Israeli civilians.

According to reports, several buildings were damaged in central Israel.

Trump Asks Iran To Accept Nuclear Deal

Targeting Iran and asking the nation to accept the nuclear deal, US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social: "Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to 'make a deal'. They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!"

Security Council Meets In Emergency Session

Israel’s strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities mark a dangerous new escalation in the Middle East, a top UN official told the Security Council during an emergency session convened on Friday.

The Council cleared its original schedule to address the rapidly evolving crisis, also hearing from the head of the UN-backed international nuclear watchdog, who warned of the grave risks to regional stability and nuclear safety.

Iran Calls For Accountability

Iranian Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told the Security Council he was addressing the body on behalf of his government and people “with the utmost urgency and grave alarm.”

“We strongly and unequivocally condemn the barbaric and criminal attack, a series of targeted assassinations against senior military officials, nuclear scientists and innocent civilians,” he said.

“These deliberate and systematic killings were not only illegal and inhuman, a chilling display of calculated aggression. These atrocities constitute a clear act of State terrorism and flagrant violation of international law,” he added.

He said Israel’s attacks on protected nuclear facilities defied not only the fundamental principles of international law but also “common conscience,” warning that damage to such sites could release catastrophic radiological consequences across the region and beyond.

“Only a regime devoid of humanity and responsibility would endanger millions of lives in pursuit of its destructive ambitions,” Iravani said.

“Those who support this regime, with the United States at the forefront, must understand that they are complicit. By aiding and enabling these crimes, they share full responsibility for the consequences.”

Israel Defends ‘Act Of National Preservation’

Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon began his remarks by reminding Security Council members that – as they spoke – Iranian ballistic missiles were striking Israeli cities and injuring civilians.

He said Israel’s strikes were preventative and carried out with “precision, purpose, and the most advanced intelligence” available.

The mission, he added, was clear, “dismantle Iran’s nuclear programme, eliminate the architects of its terror and aggression and neutralize the regime’s ability to follow through on its repeated public promise to destroy the State of Israel.”

Danon accused Iran of taking steps toward building a nuclear arsenal. He also criticized the international community for failing to act and rein in Tehran.

“Israel did not act recklessly – we waited,” he said.

“This was an act of national preservation. It was one we undertook alone, not because we wanted to, but because we were left no other option.”

Russia ‘Strongly Condemns’ Israeli Actions

Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia warned that Israel’s actions in the Middle East are “pushing the region to a large-scale nuclear catastrophe.”

“This completely unprovoked attack, no matter what Israel says to the contrary, is a gross violation of the UN Charter and international law,” he said, expressing Russia’s “strong condemnation” of the strikes.

He accused “Western members” of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal – formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – of contributing to the current crisis through their policies toward Iran and its nuclear programme.

“They have been doing everything to fuel the escalation and essentially incited it,” he told ambassadors.

Nebenzia concluded by urging renewed diplomatic efforts. “Once again, settling issues related to the Iranian nuclear programme is only possible if a peaceful, political, and diplomatic pathway is followed,” he said.

Developments Since Thursday

Overnight from Thursday into Friday, Israeli military strikes targeted nuclear facilities across Iran, including the Natanz enrichment site.

According to reports, Hossein Salami, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as several prominent nuclear scientists, were among those killed.

The strikes also caused significant damage, including reportedly dozens of civilian casualties.

Airspace in the region has been largely closed and security forces are on high alert.

Additional Israeli strikes were reported late Friday local time as well as ballistic missile launches by Iran which have reportedly struck parts of Israel, including Tel Aviv.
