At the same time, prolonging the fighting increases Tehran's chances, experts say.

In Petah Tikva, three people were killed as a result of a direct rocket hit into a safe room and another when a rocket hit a building. Three victims were found in Haifa.

On the same day, the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, announced that the building of the American Embassy in Tel Aviv had received minor damage as a result of a rocket explosion fired from Iran.
