Tel Aviv Under Missile Attack: Iran Launches Barrage

Tel Aviv Under Fire: Iranian Missile Barrage Strikes City Tel Aviv, Israel – June 16, 2025 – A barrage of missiles launched from Iran rained down on Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities early this morning, causing significant damage and widespread fear. The attack, which began around 4:00 AM local time, sent residents scrambling for cover as explosions rocked the city. Videos and eyewitness accounts show multiple missiles streaking across the sky, followed by bright flashes and the sounds of explosions. "It was terrifying," said one resident of Tel Aviv, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "The sirens went off, and then we heard the explosions. We ran to our safe room and didn't come out until it was over." The Israeli military confirmed that its Iron Dome defense system intercepted many of the incoming missiles, but some projectiles did hit their targets. The extent of the damage is still being assessed, but reports indicate that several residential buildings suffered significant damage in Petah Tikva and Tel Aviv. The attack comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel. This latest escalation follows a series of smaller incidents and threats in recent weeks. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and calling for de-escalation.
