Khaberni - The military confrontation between Israel and Iran today, Wednesday, saw a simultaneous escalation with an intense exchange of rocket attacks and airstrikes, in one of the most violent rounds of fighting between the two sides.
The Israeli Army Radio reported detecting the launch of 3 rockets from Iran towards different areas, while Iranian television announced that the Revolutionary Guard launched 3 rocket volleys towards the occupied territories within less than an hour.
Alarm sirens frequently sounded in wide areas within Israel, covering central Israel, northern Israel and the occupied Golan, and the Galilee region, in addition to Tel Aviv which experienced 3 consecutive alarms over a short period.
Early warnings were also issued in the coastal plain, West Bank settlements, Ashdod, and the western Negev, indicating an expansion in the range of rocket threats.
Casualties and damages in Tel Aviv
Israeli media outlets reported that an Iranian rocket carrying a cluster warhead led to the fall of explosive ordnance in 6 locations inside and around Tel Aviv, with a direct hit on a building in Bnei Brak east of the city.
The Israeli Ambulance Service announced that it is dealing with 11 sites where shrapnel fell in greater Tel Aviv following an Iranian rocket attack, while the number of injured in Bnei Brak rose to 14 people, including one described as serious.
Concurrently with the Iranian bombardment, Channel 12 Israel talked about monitoring attacks from Lebanon towards northern Israel, coinciding with the sound of explosions in the greater Tel Aviv area.
In response, the Israeli Army announced in a brief statement that it completed a wide wave of raids targeting infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime in Tehran.
In turn, official Iranian television confirmed that areas in the north, east, and center of the capital Tehran were subjected to airstrikes, with the sound of successive explosions, without an immediate announcement about the extent of the losses.
Since February 28 last year, the United States and Israel have been launching attacks on Iran, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries, as well as the assassination of military and political leaders, most notably the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
