Tel Aviv, Israel – On the Night of Takbir, Iran has delivered one of its most aggressive ᴀssaults yet, launching waves of powerful Khorramshahr and Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles that tore through Israeli airspace and plunged Tel Aviv into chaos.

In a coordinated midnight barrage on March 21, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired dozens of advanced missiles, including the heavy-payload Khorramshahr and the highly maneuverable Kheibar Shekan. Several warheads successfully penetrated Israel’s multi-layered defenses, triggering mᴀssive explosions across central Tel Aviv and surrounding cities. Fires raged in multiple districts, with thick smoke rising over the skyline as emergency services raced to impact zones.

Iranian state media celebrated the attack as a “divine victory on the Night of Takbir,” claiming the missiles overwhelmed Israeli defenses and struck strategic targets in the heart of the country. IRGC commanders declared that this barrage proves Iran’s growing missile superiority and vowed that “more painful nights are coming.”

While Israel’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow systems intercepted the majority of incoming threats, the sheer volume and advanced maneuvering of the Iranian missiles allowed several to get through, causing significant localized damage, shattered buildings, and widespread panic. Hospitals reported treating dozens of injured from blast effects and flying debris.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation from a secure location, calling the attack “a cowardly act of terror” and promising that Israel’s response would be “swift, powerful, and decisive.” The Israeli Air Force has already launched retaliatory strikes deep inside Iran.

This latest escalation on a symbolically charged night shows Iran’s willingness to keep pushing the conflict despite heavy losses. As Tel Aviv deals with the aftermath and the region braces for further retaliation, one thing remains certain: the war between Iran and Israel has reached a dangerous new intensity.
