March 15 (UPI) -- Israel said it launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran on Sunday as Iran carried out its own attacks on U.S. military sites and against U.S. allies in the Gulf region at large.
The Israeli military said its airstrike hit the Hamedan area of western Iran, hitting multiple military headquarters, The Times of Israel reported. The Israeli military said it plans to expand its attacks on western and central Iran "with the aim of broadly and systematically damaging the regime's command and control capabilities."
Israeli officials, meanwhile, said at least five people in the country were injured Sunday by Iranian missiles. Iran's state-run Mehr news agency reported that the Iranian military has pledged to "pursue and kill" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "with force."
The United Arab Emirates said it has seen a drop in Iranian attacks within its borders. The defense ministry said it intercepted four ballistic missiles and six drones Sunday.
