Tel Aviv residents scrambled for shelter as multiple explosions echoed across the city following a large-scale missile attack launched by Iran against Israel.
Air raid sirens wailed throughout the country as the Israeli military confirmed dozens of ballistic missiles had been fired from Iranian territory in what appears to be the most significant confrontation between the two nations in decades.
Witnesses reported seeing interceptor missiles from Israel’s Iron Dome defence system lighting up the night sky as they engaged incoming projectiles. Emergency services rushed to several locations where missile debris caused property damage, though initial reports suggest most were intercepted before reaching populated areas. The Israeli Defence Forces placed all units on high alert and initiated emergency protocols, with civilians instructed to remain near bomb shelters.
This unprecedented attack marks a dangerous escalation in the long-simmering conflict between Israel and Iran, which has typically been fought through proxy forces across the Middle East. Security analysts warn a direct missile strike from Iranian soil could trigger a major regional conflict, with global powers closely monitoring the situation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency war cabinet meeting to determine the country’s response, while world leaders called for immediate de-escalation.
The attack comes amid heightened tensions following recent airstrikes on Iranian targets in Syria, which Tehran blamed on Israel. International flights to Tel Aviv were temporarily suspended as airlines assessed the security situation in the region.
