Iran’s Red Crescent said an Israeli strike hit near its building in northern Tehran, as fighting between Iran and Israel raged for the 11th day, AFP reports.

“New attack around the Red Crescent… building,” the emergency service said in a post on its Telegram channel accompanied by a video of smoke rising from the site of the attack.

An AFP journalist had earlier reported hearing loud explosions in the north of the Iranian capital.
