Iran launched another intense attack on Israel early this morning, marking the 10th major assault in recent weeks. Sirens blared in Tel Aviv as several Israeli cities were placed on high alert.

Late last night, Iran fired multiple ballistic missiles and drones towards Haifa and Tel Aviv, resulting in the deaths of three Israeli citizens and injuring dozens more.

The explosions reverberated throughout the city, causing widespread fear among residents.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged citizens to seek shelter immediately and refrain from unnecessary outings.

This attack is a response to an Israeli airstrike on the building of an Iranian state television channel in Tehran, which the Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned as a sign of Israel’s desperation and moral failure.

One female employee injured in the strike later died, prompting outrage among the Iranian public.

The airstrike occurred during a live broadcast, with debris from the roof collapsing into the studio and filling it with smoke, forcing the anchor to evacuate.

After a brief interruption, broadcasts resumed, with journalist Younes Shadloo reporting on the incident and highlighting Israeli aggression.

In reaction, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council vowed that “tonight will be a day for Israel,” leading Iranian forces to launch dozens of missiles targeting Haifa and other locations.

The Israeli military defended its actions, asserting that the Iranian television building was being used by the military.

However, international observers have criticized this justification as “childish.”
