The deadly conflict between Israel and Iran has entered its fifth day, with both sides widening their attacks, CNN reported.

According to CNN, Israeli residents are now permitted to leave bomb shelters following the latest detected wave of missiles from Iran, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The country’s national emergency service Magen David Adom said there have been no reports of missile impacts or casualties in central Israel and the south central Shfela region, CNN reported.

According to Politico, dust and debris filled an Iranian state television studio and an anchor rushed off camera Monday when an Israeli strike hit during a live broadcast, an hour after Israel issued a warning for the area of Tehran where the station is located. Sahar Emami, an anchor at the Islamic Republic of Iran News Network, was seen hurrying off-camera as the screen behind her cut out, the Politico reported.

The broadcast quickly switched to pre-recorded programs. Soon, Emami came back live from another studio and was seen speaking with another anchor. Images showed smoke and flames in the sky. The station later said that the building was hit by four bombs, the Politico reported.

The foreign ministers of 21 Arab and Islamic countries in a joint statement condemned the attacks by the Israel on Iran, the Iran News Agency reported.

According to the Anadolu Agency, the statement was the result of an initiative by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty following consultations with his counterparts across the region.
