LIVE — Iran has launched a major new wave of attacks on Israel, with the IRGC firing ballistic missiles at both Tel Aviv and Haifa in what Tehran is calling the start of its “crushing” offensive. Sirens blared across central and northern Israel as multiple explosions rocked both cities. At least two residential buildings in Haifa were directly hit, causing significant damage and fires, while intercepts over Tel Aviv created dramatic flashes across the night sky.
Magen David Adom teams are responding to multiple scenes, treating dozens of injured civilians suffering from shrapnel wounds and panic attacks. Israeli officials say the barrage was one of the largest in recent days, with Iran deliberately targeting civilian population centers in a clear attempt to spread terror.
In a defiant statement, Iranian regime officials vowed to continue the “crushing attacks” until Israel is brought to its knees. The IRGC boasted that this is only the beginning of a sustained campaign designed to overwhelm Israel’s defenses and break the will of its people.
However, despite the heavy barrage, Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems — Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow — intercepted the majority of incoming missiles. Israeli citizens once again showed extraordinary resilience, calmly moving to shelters while emergency services worked under fire.
The IDF has already begun striking back hard, launching precision airstrikes on IRGC missile launch sites and command centers inside Iran. Israeli leaders have warned that every attack on Israeli cities will be met with even greater force.
This latest escalation reveals the desperation of a regime that is losing the broader war. After suffering devastating losses to its nuclear program and military infrastructure, Iran is now resorting to indiscriminate terror against civilians.
The free world must stand firmly with Israel. These barbaric attacks on cities full of innocent families cannot be tolerated. Iran’s aggression will not break the Jewish state — it will only accelerate the regime’s own collapse.
