Iran on Sunday launched a missile and drone barrage on Israel in a fresh attack, targeting key cities including Tel Aviv and Haifa, Arab media reported.
According to reports, Iran fired between 20 to 40 ballistic missiles during the coordinated attack. The barrage caused direct damage to several buildings across multiple cities, with northern coastal areas such as Mount Carmel also being hit.
The strikes triggered air raid sirens across more than 400 Israeli towns and cities, forcing residents into shelters and creating panic throughout the country.
Arab media confirmed that significant explosions were heard in Tel Aviv and Haifa, with videos circulating on social platforms showing widespread damage to infrastructure.
Iranian officials, in a clear tone, declared, “You started this. We will finish it,” signalling a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The assault follows growing tensions in the region and is being described by analysts as one of the most serious military actions between the two nations in recent memory.
Iran’s armed forces said Sunday they targeted multiple sites in Israel, including Ben Gurion airport, after US attacks on key nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic.
“The twentieth wave of Operation Honest Promise 3 began using a combination of long-range liquid and solid fuel missiles with devastating warhead power,” the armed forces said in a statement quoted by Fars news agency. The targets included the airport, a “biological research centre”, logistics bases, and various layers of command and control centres, it added.
