Tel Aviv, Jun 14: Iran launched multiple waves of missile attacks on Israel early Saturday, triggering widespread sirens and panic across the country’s north. Israeli emergency services confirmed significant damage to residential areas in central Israel, where at least two people were killed and over a dozen injured.
The missile barrage, dubbed “Operation Severe Punishment” by Iranian officials, was launched in retaliation to Israeli airstrikes carried out Friday night targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and military sites. Explosions were reported across Tel Aviv, with video footage capturing the night sky lit by incoming fire and interceptors.
