A missile fired from Iran struck Tel Aviv today, killing at least four people, injuring six people and damaging buildings and vehicles. Israel’s Army Radio, citing security officials, reported that it was apparently a cluster-type missile containing several bomblets, each weighing about 100 kilograms, with the bomblets or their fragments impacting several sites. In a statement, the Israeli military said search and rescue teams were operating at several sites in central Israel after impacts were reported. Air raid sirens were activated seven times across Israel overnight and into this morning amid continued missile fire from Iran.
On the other hand, the Israeli army said it has completed a wave of extensive strikes targeting production sites in Iran. However, it did not provide information on the locations or types of sites it targeted. The UAE said that it has intercepted five ballistic missiles and 17 drones coming in from Iran today. Meanwhile, Lebanon has declared the appointed Iranian envoy persona non grata, asking him to leave the country by Sunday.
The strike came as the regional conflict entered its 25th day, with tensions remaining high despite US President Donald Trump’s claim of ongoing negotiations, which Iran dismissed as fake news.
