Iran launched a new missile barrage toward Israel early Friday, triggering multiple explosions across Tel Aviv as air defenses scrambled to intercept incoming projectiles. Witnesses reported loud blasts echoing across the city, while streaks of rockets lit up the night sky over Israel’s commercial hub and surrounding coastal areas.
Shortly afterward, emergency responders rushed to several locations where debris and intercepted missile fragments fell. Firefighters worked to contain a blaze at a residential building near central Tel Aviv, while police evacuated residents from nearby apartments as a precaution against further damage.

Meanwhile, Israel’s emergency service teams inspected several reported impact sites throughout central Israel. Authorities confirmed that falling projectiles damaged buildings and infrastructure, yet officials reported no casualties despite the intensity of the attack and widespread alarm among residents.
In addition, Israeli air defenses intercepted several rockets over the Mediterranean coastal city of Netanya, where residents saw bright rocket trails across the sky. Security officials continued issuing warnings in northern communities near the Lebanon border as tensions rose across the region.

The escalation follows Israel’s expansion of its military campaign against Hezbollah after the recent killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israeli officials vowed strong retaliation against Tehran-backed forces, signaling that the conflict may enter a more aggressive phase.
Furthermore, Israeli military planners are preparing what officials describe as the second phase of the war. Fighter jets are expected to target ballistic missile facilities believed to be buried deep underground, aiming to weaken Iran’s ability to launch future long-range attacks.
