Iranian missiles have struck an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base inside the Israeli capital, according to local residents and sources. Tel Aviv residents say it was the most powerful and large-scale missile attack on the city in its history. Videos circulating on social media and in the media show the aftermath of the missile strike, with buildings destroyed and debris scattered at the site.
Preliminary information indicates that missiles launched from Iran hit both military targets and nearby civilian areas. The number of casualties and the extent of destruction remain unknown. According to eyewitnesses, the attack caused numerous fires, and the city's emergency services are working at the limit of their capabilities to eliminate the aftermath of the strikes.
This is not the first time Tel Aviv has been hit by rocket attacks, but this attack is considered by many experts and residents to be the most destructive. Israeli authorities had previously warned of possible threats from Iran and its allies, but the speed and force of the attack surprised even local security services. Local residents reported loud explosions and bright flashes in the sky, causing panic among the population. Many areas of Tel Aviv are currently being evacuated to avoid possible further attacks.
