US-Israeli strikes have "completely destroyed" a synagogue in Tehran, according to Iranian media, while attacks across Iran have killed more than a dozen people overnight.

“According to preliminary information, the Rafi-Nia Synagogue was completely destroyed in this morning’s attacks,” the Shargh newspaper reported on Tuesday. According to the semi-official Iranian news agency Mehr, the synagogue was destroyed when an adjacent residential building in central Tehran was hit. The Israeli side denied the attack, saying they do not target Jewish sites.

Footage showed civil defense workers among the rubble, with Hebrew-language books scattered on the ground.

The report said that due to the narrowness of the streets around the hit building, both the exterior and interior of surrounding buildings were “severely” damaged. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

In a video published on Telegram by official Iranian media outlet IRIB News, Homayoun Sameh, a Jewish representative in the country's Islamic Consultative Assembly, said that "the Zionist regime showed no mercy to this community during Jewish holidays and struck one of our ancient and holy synagogues."

“Unfortunately, during this attack, the synagogue building was completely destroyed and our Torah scrolls were left under the rubble,” he said.

Judaism is one of the legally recognized minority religions in Iran and the country has a small Jewish community, although many members left after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

There are no official figures publicly available, but it is thought that several thousand Jews live in Iran. The Shargh newspaper called the synagogue “one of the most important places for the Jews of Khorasan to gather and celebrate,” referring to the northeastern province of Iran. The attacks were part of a series of overnight US-Israeli strikes in which at least 15 people were killed across Iran, local media reported.

Six bodies have been pulled from the rubble of buildings in the city of Pardis, east of Tehran, Mehr reported.

Local officials said nine people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential neighborhood in the city of Shahriar, west of Tehran province.
