The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 38 Palestinians have been killed in new shootings near food distribution centres in the south of the enclave.

It's the deadliest figure yet in the near-daily shootings that have taken place as thousands of Palestinians move through Israeli military-controlled areas to reach food centres. 

Witnesses say Israeli troops open fire in an attempt to control the crowds of Palestinians.

There was no immediate comment by the Israeli military. It has said in previous instances that troops fired warning shots at what it calls suspects approaching their positions. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been speaking from the Tel Nof Air Force base, during a visit with his defence minister and chief of staff.

During the trip south of Tel Aviv, he said Israel had two goals in Iran.

These were: "Eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat."

Overnight, Israel struck at a number of nuclear sites in Iran.

Netanyahu also told the people of Tehran to "get out" - echoing similar tactics Israel deployed in Gaza, telling large numbers of people to leave their homes and striking at residential areas.

Israel wants Iranian regime change

President Isaac Herzog has also been speaking this afternoon.

He visited one of the sites of a missile attack in central Israel, in the city of Petah Tikva, where four people were killed.

Standing in front of a damaged building, he said that it was time for a regime change in Iran.

"I think the Iranian people are fed up, and they want change. And so, of course, do the entire region, we deserve change," he said.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has told his Iranian counterpart his country is ready to facilitate nuclear negotiations and peace talks with Israel.

He made the comments today in a call with his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian.

In a statement, his presidency said: "President Erdogan said that Turkiye stands ready to undertake a facilitating role to end the conflicts as soon as possible and return to nuclear negotiations."

Turkey has also hosted peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, in Istanbul.

Israel struck a hospital over the weekend in the western Iranian city of Kermanshah, a spokesperson has claimed.

Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry, alleged that during Israel's attacks on Saturday, it hit the Farabi Hospital.

The state-run Fars news agency also reported on the attack. 

Here are some of the latest images from Tehran. 

Smoke was pictured rising above an oil depot in the Iranian capital on Monday.

It comes after an Israeli attack on Saturday.

This attack was said to be on the Sharan oil depot in northwest Tehran.

Israel targeted nuclear facilities as well as energy infrastructure and the capital city.

Sky News Middle East correspondent Ali Bunkall is in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva.

He has spoken to residents following a fourth night of fighting between Israel and Iran.

Shlomi Takuni, out walking his dog, tells Bunkall: "I am a bit scared, but we trust our military to do its best and stop this."

He adds: "This is the reality that we live in.

"I guess yes [Israel is right to attack Iran], we need to stop the atomic bomb factories. No one has the right to make this kind of bomb and aim it at us."

He says the latter in reference to Iran's nuclear programme - scroll down for more reporting on that.

Speaking in front of one of the damaged apartment blocks, Bunkall says it was thought a ballistic missile hit "one of the safe rooms where people were sheltering directly".

Michael Jan lives in the damaged building.

He tells Bunkall: "We ran away to shelter, in a few minutes... destruction, I can't even explain the situation, the feelings.

"I heard it for a minute [the missile] then nothing, my ears were ringing." 

A former Israeli defence minister has claimed that work preparing to attack Iran began months ago.

Relations between Israel and Iran have been dire for years, with the two long engaged in direct or indirect conflict.

After the 7 October attacks on Israel, this only worsened.

Yoav Gallant, an Israeli politician who served as defence minister between 2022 and 2024, said that preparation for attacking Iran began "as early as October 24".

He made the comment while sharing an image of himself visiting Bat Yam, a city in central Israel that was hit by Iranian strikes in recent days.

"Iran did not understand that as early as October 24, we began paving the air corridor for an attack on Tehran - now we are capable of responding to any enemy missile with dozens of heavy and precise bombs in the heart of Tehran; this is what we will do," he says.

It's midday in London, 2pm in Israel and 2.30pm in Iran.

If you're just joining us, here's the latest:

• Israel and Iran have exchanged overnight strikes for the fourth day;
• Israel's military claimed its attacks on Iran overnight had destroyed more than 120 missile launchers, constituting a third of Iran's stockpile;
• It also said 20 headquarters of the Iranian military and its elite Quds Forces were targeted, claiming "many of their capabilities have now been completely annihilated";
• In Israel, some Iranian missiles managed to beat the country's air defences in the north and central regions, with eight people killed;
• Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry says its parliament is preparing a bill to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

The head of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) has warned people not to forget about tragedies and deaths in Gaza, as he says attention shifts elsewhere. 

Philippe Lazzarini says that "scores of people" have been killed and injured in recent days in the enclave. This, he says, includes starving people trying to get food from what he branded a "lethal distribution system".

The UN was recently sidelined in aid distribution in Gaza, being replaced by an Israeli-backed plan after it claimed Hamas was diverting resources.

The new US-based organisation Gaza Humanitarian Foundation took its place, but dozens of people were previously killed near aid distribution points.

Now, Lazzarini has warned that the deaths are continuing.

Read what he said below:

The UK's former ambassador to Iran says Israel's military action in recent days constitutes an act of illegal aggression.

Sir Richard Dalton tells Leah Boleto that Iran did not present an imminent nuclear threat to Israel, and there is "no credible evidence" that it was planning an imminent attack either.

Benjamin Netanyahu justified last Friday's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities by claiming Tehran has recently taken steps to weaponize enriched uranium and that Israel "faced the threat of annihilation".

Asked if he believes Iran is really on the brink of nuclear weaponisation, Sir Richard says: "No, and there is no evidence to that effect in the public domain."

He says there has been no change in the basic assessment of the international community that Iran has not taken steps to develop nuclear weapons.

"So we are entitled to disbelieve Netanyahu's claims that there was some recent change in Iranian policy and behaviour. Personally, I don't think that evidence is available."
