Israel-Iran war news reaches new heights as Iran unleashes a massive missile barrage, targeting civilians after Israel’s precision strikes dismantled key Iranian nuclear and military assets. With Tel Aviv under attack, Israel vows a powerful response to defend its citizens and stability in the region.
Tensions between Israel and Iran have dangerously escalated after a series of precision Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran’s key nuclear facilities and high-ranking officials. The strikes also eliminated several top scientists and key figures linked to Iran’s nuclear and military programs.
In a swift and aggressive retaliation, Iran launched a massive barrage of ballistic missiles directly at Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv. While Israel’s Iron Dome successfully intercepted most of the incoming projectiles, some missiles managed to strike residential areas, leaving at least 3 civilians dead and dozens injured as air raid sirens echoed across central Israel.

As per The Times of Israel, Iran unleashed multiple waves of ballistic missiles targeting Israel late Friday night and into early Saturday.

Initial reports indicated that over 80 individuals sustained injuries, with three victims tragically succumbing to critical wounds. Several others remain in serious condition, while many more were treated for minor injuries and trauma-induced anxiety.

Air raid sirens wailed across major cities as Israel’s Iron Dome and advanced air defense systems intercepted many of the incoming threats, but a number of missiles still managed to breach the defenses, causing casualties and widespread panic.
