The conflict is rapidly evolving into a broader multi-theater confrontation that could draw in other nations if tensions continue to escalate. Northern Israel Rocked by Sustained Iranian Missile Barrage Multiple cities across northern Israel came under intense Iranian missile fire late Saturday night, marking one of the most severe escalations since the start of the conflict. Cities including Haifa, Tiberias, and the broader Galilee region experienced direct impacts from ballistic missiles launched by Iran. Eyewitness reports from Haifa confirm violent explosions and visible fireballs across residential and industrial zones. Emergency sirens have been sounding non-stop in the Galilee, with civil defense urging residents to take immediate shelter. In Tiberias, at least two missiles reportedly made direct hits on infrastructure near the city center, causing structural damage and widespread panic. Israeli defense systems, including the Iron Dome, were activated across the north. Footage and on-the-ground updates indicate several successful interceptions, though not all incoming projectiles were stopped. The IDF has expanded the red alert zones to include the Golan Heights and Nazareth, signaling broader threat coverage as missile trajectories widen. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) previously stated that this phase of strikes is aimed at crippling Israel’s command and control capabilities, as well as neutralizing key airbases and military assets. The targeting of northern cities follows a strategic pattern witnessed earlier in strikes on Tel Aviv and the Negev. This escalation comes just hours after reports of Israeli airstrikes targeting Tehran and other critical sites inside Iran, as both nations now appear locked in a pattern of mutual retaliation with mounting regional consequences. Iran–Israel Conflict Escalation - Israeli projectiles are currently targeting Tehran, the capital of Iran. - Iran’s air defense systems are actively engaging incoming threats over Tehran. - Iranian officials, via CNN, stated: "Iran will intensify its attacks on Israel and target the regional bases of any country that defends it." - Iraqi-based pro-Iranian groups have launched drones toward Israeli territory. - Iranian intelligence reports intercepting a truck loaded with drones in a thwarted Mossad operation inside Iran. - Israeli airstrikes have hit Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran. - Reports suggest these may also be targeted Mossad assassination operations, previously misreported as standard airstrikes. - Violent Israeli airstrikes have been confirmed across Tehran. - Scenes from the Kirya in Tel Aviv indicate the Israeli Prime Minister and most of the war cabinet are now in an underground bunker beneath the complex. Iranian Ballistic Missiles Strike Tel Aviv as Escalation Intensifies Across Middle East Tel Aviv, Israel – Chaotic scenes unfolded in central Tel Aviv today as Iranian ballistic missiles struck the heart of the city in a powerful escalation of the ongoing conflict. Eyewitness video captured the exact moment of impact, with explosions erupting and residents fleeing in panic through the smoke-filled streets. Confirmed developments so far: - Casualties: At least 3 confirmed dead, with over 70 injured from the missile barrage targeting Israeli urban centers. - Structural damage: Multiple buildings in Tel Aviv have been damaged or destroyed, including high-rise residential and commercial towers. - Missing persons: The Red Star of David reports several individuals remain unaccounted for in the aftermath of the strikes. - Retaliation: Reports indicate Mossad has launched assassination drone operations within Tehran, targeting high-value Iranian assets. - Tehran strikes: Israeli airstrikes have hit multiple locations in the Iranian capital. Smoke plumes have been observed rising from central Tehran. - Regional tension: Sirens were activated at the US Embassy in Baghdad, highlighting the expanding scope of the conflict. Defense analysts warn that the rapid exchange of airstrikes and drone operations now mirrors patterns seen in Operation Sindoor-style escalations, with fears rising that a single miscalculation or false flag incident could trigger an uncontrollable regional war. Direct Iranian Missile Strikes Hit Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem in Escalating Attack In an unprecedented escalation, Iran has launched a powerful wave of ballistic missiles targeting multiple major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem. Initial reports confirm the following: - A 50-story skyscraper, approximately 152 meters tall, has suffered a direct strike in Tel Aviv. - Eyewitnesses in the West Bank filmed the moment Iranian missiles entered Israeli airspace. - Between 7 and 10 missiles are confirmed to have impacted the Tel Aviv area alone. - Simultaneous impacts have also been reported in northern Haifa and central Jerusalem, with growing concerns of casualties and severe infrastructure damage. - Red alert sirens blared across central Israel moments before impact. Missile interceptors were launched from Tel Aviv, but failed to neutralize the entire barrage. This is the most severe direct missile attack from Iran to date. Israeli defense forces are currently assessing the full scope of the damage and casualties, while emergency services rush to affected zones. The situation is rapidly evolving. This strike follows a series of Israeli airstrikes earlier today on Tehran’s military headquarters, prompting fears of full-scale regional war. Iranian Ballistic Missiles Score Direct Hits Amid Unprecedented Salvo Tel Aviv, Israel — A massive wave of Iranian ballistic missiles has struck Israel, with confirmed direct impacts in Tel Aviv, marking the most intense escalation in the ongoing regional conflict to date. Multiple red alert sirens began sounding across central Israel just minutes before impact. Interceptor systems were deployed from Tel Aviv and nearby locations, but several missiles reportedly bypassed defenses and caused significant structural damage. Emergency services are responding to multiple blast sites across the city. This latest round of attacks follows a prior salvo that targeted Jerusalem and the Gaza Envelope. Military analysts confirm that this is the largest and most destructive missile barrage launched by Iran against Israel since the conflict began. State-linked sources in Israel have acknowledged sustained pressure on the Iron Dome and other defensive layers, suggesting that Iran’s evolving targeting strategies and timing are overwhelming existing air response systems. The Israeli government has yet to issue a formal casualty count, but early reports suggest a growing number of civilian injuries and possible fatalities. Hospitals across Tel Aviv have moved to high-alert status. This escalation comes just hours after Israeli airstrikes targeted military installations in Tehran, including the General Headquarters of Iran’s Armed Forces. In response, Iranian military officials had vowed “daily retaliation” against Israeli targets—a promise now being fulfilled with unprecedented intensity. Further attacks are anticipated. International observers warn that the conflict is veering into a full-scale regional war involving multiple fronts and proxy actors. Stay with us for real-time updates on the developing situation. Iran Launches Ballistic Missiles Toward Central Israel After Israeli Strikes Hit Tehran Iran has launched a fresh wave of ballistic missiles toward Israel, with multiple projectiles confirmed to have passed through Iraqi airspace. The barrage is reportedly aimed at central Israel, including the Tel Aviv area, in what analysts suggest may mark the beginning of a sustained campaign of retaliation. This escalation follows Israeli airstrikes earlier today targeting multiple sites in Tehran, including the General Headquarters of Iran’s Armed Forces. The Iranian response appears to be swift and strategic, echoing the near-daily attack pattern used by Ansarullah forces in Yemen. Military analysts are warning that the next few days could see a continuation of these exchanges, significantly increasing the risk of a broader regional conflict. Missiles flying over third-party nations such as Iraq also raise concerns about sovereignty violations and regional destabilization. The UN Security Council convened an emergency session after Israel’s strike on Iranian soil. Here’s what happened. Iran’s ambassador accused Israel of launching premeditated, coordinated military attacks across multiple cities — targeting nuclear sites, military infrastructure, and residential areas. Iran claims 78 killed, 320+ injured. Many were civilians. The Natanz nuclear facility, monitored by the IAEA, was among the targets. Iran labeled the strikes as “state terrorism” and a “grave violation of international law,” warning of serious regional consequences, including potential radiological fallout. Iran directly blamed the United States for enabling the strikes, stating that Israeli jets used American weapons. They called it an act of war. Tehran vowed a “firm, lawful, and proportionate” response — “at a time and place of our choosing.” Israel’s envoy responded by announcing “Operation Rising Lion” — claiming the operation neutralized senior IRGC leaders, destroyed ballistic missile sites, and struck the heart of Iran’s enrichment efforts at Natanz. Israel argued it acted to prevent a nuclear holocaust, citing intelligence that Iran was days away from producing weapons-grade material. Israeli officials also said Iran’s regime had orchestrated a multi-front war plan involving Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas. Both sides now assert they acted in defense. But the escalation risks engulfing the region — and possibly beyond.

Simultaneously, red alert sirens have been activated across multiple locations, pointing to an ongoing aerial threat. Preliminary intelligence assessments suggest the drones may have been launched by pro-Iranian Shia militants operating from Iraq. The Israeli military has not released full details but is said to be closely monitoring the situation across both the Jordanian and Iraqi airspace corridors. Earlier rumors that Israeli F-35 fighter jets had been shot down circulated on social media. However, Axios has since denied those claims, and no official confirmation has been issued by the Israel Defense Forces. There is currently no verified evidence supporting the reports of downed aircraft. With multiple fronts in motion and misinformation spreading quickly, authorities are urging the public to rely on verified sources for real-time updates.

Eyewitness footage from Baharestan, just south of Isfahan, shows intense anti-aircraft fire lighting up the sky amid audible detonations. In Tehran, anti-aircraft batteries have been activated in multiple districts as explosions continue to echo across the capital. State-linked sources confirm that air defenses are tracking multiple targets, believed to be part of Israel’s expanding air campaign. Despite warnings from Iranian authorities to remain indoors, large crowds have gathered in the streets of Tehran, waving Iranian flags and chanting national slogans such as “God is the Greatest” and “Death to Israel.” Elsewhere in the region, Israeli defense forces confirmed the interception of a drone launched from Yemen, likely by the Ansarullah (Houthi) movement, before it could reach Israeli airspace. Meanwhile, red alert sirens were activated in Eilat, southern Israel, indicating ongoing threats across multiple fronts. Analysts note a shift in Iran’s defensive posture. While Israeli strikes last night were enabled by a reported Mossad pre-operation that disrupted key air defense systems, today's attacks are being met with coordinated and visible resistance from Iran’s recovered air defense network. The conflict continues to escalate across regional theaters. Explosions Reported in Tehran as Israeli Jets Approach; Iranians Take to the Streets in Defiance Tehran, Iran — Air raid sirens rang out across the Iranian capital late Thursday night as Israeli fighter jets reportedly approached, signaling the potential for a major new wave of airstrikes. However, despite the warnings, large crowds of Iranian civilians flooded the streets of Tehran in a public show of support for their government, openly defying civil defense protocols. Shortly after the sirens sounded, multiple explosions were reported throughout Tehran, with local sources describing loud detonations and flashes lighting up the skyline. Initial reports suggest these may be the opening salvos of a new Israeli strike package targeting Iranian military infrastructure. In parallel, Israeli Air Force units have reportedly entered southern Syrian airspace, specifically over the al-Qunaitra region. Military analysts believe these jets could be positioned to launch supporting or diversionary strikes in tandem with operations over Iran. Israeli defense sources have warned that this upcoming wave of strikes may be “very, very violent,” with expectations of deeper penetration and higher-value targets compared to previous rounds. The Iranian public’s decision to ignore shelter protocols and gather en masse is being interpreted as a signal of national unity—or state-backed defiance—amid one of the most dangerous nights of the ongoing regional conflict. Further updates will follow as the situation evolves. Explosions Reported in Tehran as Iran Activates Air Defenses Explosions have been reported in Tehran, the capital of Iran, amid escalating military activity between Israel and Iran. Multiple eyewitnesses and local sources confirm the sound of blasts across the city as Iran's air defense systems activate in response to suspected incoming threats. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a new statement declaring that the country is now in the third phase of “Operation Truthful Promise,” targeting Israeli military centers, airbases, and missile production facilities. The IRGC claims that dozens of ballistic missiles have successfully hit strategic sites, rejecting Israeli claims of widespread interceptions. Meanwhile, air raid sirens have been activated in Amman, the capital of Jordan, as regional spillover risks continue to grow. Elsewhere, Iran's police forces report that five drones were intercepted and destroyed in the country’s northwest, underscoring growing aerial threats and the increasingly complex multi-front nature of the conflict. In a separate statement, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected international calls for de-escalation, stating, “Calls for restraint are unjustified.” Rising Civilian Casualties, Near-Miss on Defense HQ, and Emergency Response Underway | Live Updates The situation across Israel continues to evolve rapidly as new details emerge in the aftermath of Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack. Here's the most up-to-date summary as of this hour: Casualty Numbers RisingAt least 34 Israelis have been confirmed injured, with two in critical condition, according to updated reports from Israel’s Red Star of David emergency services.
