Tehran:DD, In a fresh wave, a series of Iranian missile strikes have hit multiple locations across the occupied Palestinian territories, causing extensive damage and casualties, according to reports.
The third phase of Iran’s retaliatory military operation – True Promise III – began at around 1:30 am Iran time after two successful phases in which many strategic Israeli sites were targeted.
According to various Israeli media reports, in the latest wave, missiles impacted areas in Tel Aviv, occupied Jerusalem al-Quds, Lake Tiberias, Haifa, Beersheba and other places.
The most severe damage was reported in Tel Aviv, where at least one missile struck a 50-story building, triggering a powerful explosion that sent columns of smoke rising over the city skyline.
Israeli media reports described scenes of chaos in Tel Aviv, with emergency services responding to what officials called a “strategic” hit on a critical facility south of the city.
Due to the sensitive nature of the target, Israel’s so-called Home Front Command has reportedly imposed a media blackout on certain details to avoid further embarrassment.
According to the Director of the Center for Strategic Studies and International Relations, Amir Al-Mousawi, one of the Iranian missiles hit a nuclear research center in Tel Aviv. (Copied from Agencies)
