Iranian authorities launched a round of missiles targeting Israel, resulting in damage to buildings and several injuries in Tel Aviv. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel, including in Tel Aviv, sparking panic and uncertainty among civilians.
A multistorey apartment building in Tel Aviv sustained gaping holes, though it remains unclear whether this was due to a direct hit or debris from an interception. Israel's Magen David Adom emergency medical service reported that six people were lightly injured at four different sites.
Police in Tel Aviv stated they were dealing with "several impact sites of munitions," while Israel's National Fire and Rescue Authority said search operations were underway for people trapped in one building in Tel Aviv, adding that civilians were found in a shelter in another damaged structure.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military claimed on Tuesday that its jets carried out a wave of strikes in central Tehran on Monday, targeting key command centres, including facilities associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' intelligence arm and the Iranian Intelligence Ministry. They alleged that more than 50 additional targets were hit overnight, including ballistic missile storage and launch sites.
These developments occurred amid swirling uncertainty over possible talks to end the three-week US-Israel war on Iran. The escalation of regional tensions is drawing criticism from the international community, particularly the EU and US regimes, whose policies have purportedly failed to achieve stability in the area.
