Tel Aviv hit by Iranian missiles

On Friday, loud warning sirens rang across Israel as Iran launched many ballistic missiles in response to Israel’s overnight airstrikes.

A few hours later, Iran sent another round of missiles toward Israel. Some of these missiles got past Israel’s missile defence system, causing damage and injuries, but the full scope of the destruction is still unclear.

In the first attack, Iran fired around 100 missiles in two waves, according to officials. Israel’s missile defence system, called the Iron Dome, stopped most of these missiles, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.

However, a few missiles hit buildings due to some failures in the defence system.

In the second wave, dozens more missiles were fired, and the IDF reported that while some were stopped, others got through.

Videos shared on social media, confirmed by The New York Times, showed a missile hitting an area with several military sites, including the IDF’s main command centre. The footage suggests that at least one Iranian missile broke through Israel’s air defences and struck an important military site in central Tel Aviv.

Israel carried out large airstrikes on Iran on Friday, targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities and aiming to eliminate key military leaders.

Media reports say the surprise attack killed at least 20 senior Iranian commanders, including the leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.

Six nuclear scientists were also confirmed killed in the strikes.
