Media: 8 waves of rockets launched by Iran at central Israel since this morning

Iran has launched 8 waves of rockets and drones targeting central Israel, resulting in significant damage and fires, according to Israeli media.

Iran has reportedly launched 8 waves of ballistic missiles and drones directed towards central Israel this morning, causing considerable damage and fires in the region. The alarming attacks have been confirmed by Israeli news outlets that reported incessant air raid sirens across the country as Iranian and Hezbollah rockets fall. This series of attacks has raised concerns regarding national security, emphasizing the threat posed by Iran in the ongoing conflict between the countries.

The Iranian military and the Revolutionary Guard announced on state media that these attacks were part of the "67th wave" of their Operation "True Promise 4", specifically targeting key strategic assets such as fuel supply sites at Ben Gurion Airport. By focusing on these facilities, the Iranian forces aim to disrupt Israel's operational capabilities against Iranian interests. Additional targets included the Ministry of Internal Security in occupied Jerusalem, media buildings, and satellite radar centers scattered across the occupied territories, demonstrating a wide-ranging offensive strategy.

The relentless barrage has prompted panic in Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa, as air raid sirens blared in these areas and debris from missiles fell in populated regions, including Rehovot, resulting in property damage and notable incidents such as a fire in a residential house. The orchestration of such an extensive attack highlights escalating tensions in the region and raises questions regarding Israel's defensive measures and response capabilities in the face of ongoing threats from Iran and allied groups.
