Tehran unleashed a fresh barrage of missiles, Sunday, resulting in the deaths of four people in Israel. Buildings and cars were severely damaged in the Tel Aviv area.
Israel has launched a series of strikes against Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear program and other military infrastructure. Iran has launched its own strikes in retaliation.
Onlookers gathered on Saturday at a central Tel Aviv residential building next door to Israel’s defense headquarters that was damaged after it took a hit from what appeared to be shrapnel from an overnight missile barrage from Iran.
The attack was a stiff challenge for Israel’s air-defense system, which has intercepted projectiles fired from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran since the start of the war Oct. 7, 2023. They have ranged from short-range rockets to medium-range missiles to attack drones to ballistic missiles like those fired Friday night.
"Another barrage of dozens of rockets was launched" towards Israel, the statement adds. The IDF says that the explosions people are hearing "originate from interceptions or impacts". We've been hearing from Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei who says Iran “will inflict heavy blows” after Israel “launched war”.
