Iran’s missile strikes on Tel Aviv caused destruction in northern and central parts of the city, leaving several buildings heavily damaged. The attack came in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes on Iranian territory overnight.
At least 16 people were wounded in Israel. A 30-year-old man was reported to be in moderate condition, while ten others sustained light injuries, according to the Magen David Adom rescue service.
In response to the missile barrage, Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes on what were described as “military targets” in western Iran, though no further details were given.
The United States struck three major nuclear facilities in Iran. President Donald Trump stated that the sites were “completely and fully obliterated,” warning that more strikes would follow if Iran retaliated.
The escalation follows a week of direct confrontation between Israel and Iran, ignited by Israel’s unexpected assault on Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure.
