In a dramatic escalation, Iran has launched a fresh wave of ballistic missiles targeting Israel in retaliation for recent Israeli strikes. According to local media reports, one of the missiles allegedly struck the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister was swiftly moved to a bomb-proof shelter following the incident.
Reports from Tehran Times indicate that major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Ashkelon, were among the key targets in this latest round of Iranian missile strikes. Iranian sources claim that over 50 ballistic missiles have been launched so far in this intensified response.
Israeli media also reported significant damage in some areas, though official confirmation on casualties remains pending. Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a strong response, stated that Israeli fighter jets are currently in Iranian airspace and warned that Iran will face severe consequences for attacking Israeli soil.
Meanwhile, several explosions were heard across Tehran, the Iranian capital. Local media reported that five separate car bomb explosions occurred at different locations, which Iranian officials have blamed on Israel, calling it an act of desperation following its failed aerial attempts.
