Iran intensifies missile attacks across occupied territories, striking Tel Aviv and expanding the scope of confrontation amid continued Israeli air raids on Iranian cities.

Key Developments

• Iran launches repeated missile salvos within one hour targeting Tel Aviv and central Israel.
• Israeli reports confirm damage to at least 17 sites and multiple injuries.
• Escalation expands with simultaneous attacks from Iran and Lebanon.

Missile Strikes Hit Tel Aviv, Injuries and Damage Reported

Iran’s armed forces launched a new batch of missiles toward Israel on Wednesday, marking the third such attack within one hour, according to Iranian television.

Israeli media reported that a fragmentation missile struck multiple buildings in Tel Aviv, while projectiles caused injuries in nearby Bnei Brak, where at least 14 settlers were wounded, including one in critical condition.

Additional reports indicated that explosive missile fragments fell across the Gush Dan area, with loud explosions heard throughout Tel Aviv.

According to Israeli admissions, at least 17 sites in and around Tel Aviv were damaged by falling fragmentation projectiles. Ambulance crews were reported to be responding to numerous impact locations across the greater Tel Aviv area.

Sirens sounded across large parts of occupied Palestine, from the Galilee in the north to the Negev in the south, reflecting the widening geographic scope of the attacks. Early warnings were also activated in areas including Ben Gurion Airport, the coastal plain, and settlements across the West Bank.

Israeli media reported that attacks were also detected from Lebanon, with Hezbollah launching drones toward northern areas, indicating coordinated pressure across multiple fronts.

The Israeli Ministry of Health said that 106 people were injured in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of injuries since the start of the war on Iran on February 28 to 6,286. Other figures cited the cumulative number of injuries at 6,638, reflecting discrepancies across official reporting.

Israel Strikes Iran, Regional Fronts Expand

The missile barrage comes amid one of the most intense phases of the confrontation, with both sides exchanging large-scale attacks.

Iranian sources reported that the Revolutionary Guard launched multiple missile salvos within a short period, while earlier statements confirmed the use of suicide drones targeting “strategic and sensitive centers” inside the occupied territories.

At the same time, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard issued warnings that American companies involved in information technology, communications, and artificial intelligence could be targeted for their role in “assassinations and espionage operations.”

In response, the Israeli army announced it had carried out a wide wave of airstrikes on Tehran, targeting what it described as infrastructure linked to the Iranian state.

Iranian media reported explosions across several parts of the capital, including northern, eastern, and central districts, while additional strikes were reported in Isfahan and near Kerman. Air defenses were also reported to have downed an American drone in Khorramabad.

The continued exchange of missile strikes, drone attacks, and air raids indicates a sustained escalation, with Iran expanding the scale and frequency of its attacks while Israel intensifies its operations inside Iranian territory.

The widening scope of strikes — from Tel Aviv to Tehran — reflects a confrontation that is no longer contained to isolated exchanges, but unfolding as a multi-front regional conflict involving simultaneous pressure from Iran and allied forces.
