Iranian media have released videos showing ballistic missiles being launched at Israel. Some of the missiles are said to have hit the country, including the capital region. The main blow fell on Tel Aviv, where explosions and destruction were recorded. According to eyewitnesses, air raid sirens sounded long before the strikes, but the missile defense system did not work to its full extent. As sources specify, the US Air Force was unable to respond to the launches in a timely manner and prevent the missiles from hitting Israeli territory.
Iran's massive attack was a response to recent Israeli strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon and Iranian-linked targets in Syria. This escalation of the conflict has caused an international outcry. Experts note that the scale of the current missile attack is one of the largest in recent years.
Information about the destruction is currently being clarified.
