Tel Aviv – Tensions in the Middle East escalated dramatically as Iran launched a fierce missile assault on Israel shortly after midnight, killing one woman and injuring at least 63 others, The Times of Israel reported.
The unprecedented barrage saw dozens of ballistic missiles raining down on major Israeli cities, with Tel Aviv bearing the brunt of the devastation. A massive explosion rocked the Israeli Ministry of Defense headquarters, sparking a blaze that caused extensive damage, according to Israeli media.
In the immediate aftermath, Israeli authorities urged citizens to seek shelter in secure locations. Several neighborhoods surrounding Tel Aviv came under attack, and officials are still working to confirm the total number of casualties.
The Israeli Air Force issued a public advisory warning residents against recording or sharing images, videos, or location data related to the strikes on social media, citing security concerns.
This retaliatory strike marks one of the most serious escalations in the ongoing conflict between the two nations, with global observers closely watching the fallout.
