Iranian state media has reported the launch of a new wave of ballistic missiles targeting Israel, as fresh explosions were heard across the Iranian capital, Tehran.
According to initial reports, at least 50 missiles were fired from Iranian territory toward Israel. Some sources have suggested that the assault was a coordinated operation involving Iran and Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, which triggered air raid sirens across the entire state of Israel.
Media outlets indicated that some projectiles may have landed near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in the coastal town of Caesarea.
Bat Yam, reportedly the most severely affected area, has suffered extensive damage, with several dozen buildings hit. Authorities stated that nine or ten structures are beyond repair, while rescue operations are ongoing to locate survivors trapped beneath the rubble.
