Iran launched multiple massive barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel late Friday night, as sirens blared across the country and civilians rushed to bomb shelters. The first barrage was around 9:00PM on Friday night. The second one was around 1:30Am Shabbos morning.
One woman was R”L killed and some 63 people were injured in the first wave of the Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel, according to medics. Magen David Adom reports that one individual is in serious condition, two are moderately injured, and the remaining victims sustained minor injuries or are being treated for acute anxiety.
In the second wave, five people were injured, including one mildly. Additionally, a missile struck a DA ambulance. Both emergency personal suffered minor injuries as they had fled to a shelter.
The IDF confirmed that it had detected the launch of over 150 missiles from Iran, with many aimed at central Israel, including Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan region.
Interceptor missiles lit up the night sky over Israel as air defense systems attempted to neutralize the incoming threat. Multiple interceptions were observed, including near Jerusalem and central Israel, though at least some missiles managed to penetrate the defensive shield.
Footage from downtown Tel Aviv appeared to show multiple impacts, with one missile—or debris from an intercepted projectile—hitting near a high-rise building and igniting a fire. Additional impacts were confirmed in Ramat Gan. Livestreams and security cameras captured at least two direct hits in the Tel Aviv area, sending residents scrambling for cover. By the time both waves of strikes were over, there were numerous buildings and homes that suffered massive damage.
Iran’s state-run media broadcast the attack live, framing the missile barrage as a response to what it described as “relentless Zionist aggression.”

How could the IDF issue another warning just before midnight when it’s only just after 10pm there right now?

Israel warned Iran that if it targets civilian areas Israel would destroy Iran’s oil and gas fields, something they can very easily do now. So Iran is hoping for its own sake that none of its missiles causes civilian casualties because destruction of its oil and gas fields would decimate Iran economically in addition to Iran not being able to keep their lights on.
@notposhut: the mad mullahs are anxious to strike back, no matter what. not to do so would show weakness, and bring them closer to not being in power. and just firing towards tel aviv or jerusalem, with rockets that have an “accuracy” measured in football fields, is to attack civilians, no matter what they actually hit. it’s surprising that the oil installations haven’t been hit yet, but i guess they weren’t part of the nuclear program.
There was suppose to be a toeiva parade in Tel Aviv today. It was cancelled. This shabbos many Israelis will not travel and thus won’t violate shabbos.
