Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles toward Israeli on Sunday night. Sirens blared across the country as defensive systems sprang into action to intercept the incoming threat. Shortly after the missiles were detected, Israeli authorities issued an urgent alert instructing citizens to enter protected spaces and remain there until further notice. Despite ongoing interception efforts, several missiles managed to penetrate Israel’s air defenses. A direct impact occurred in the northern port city of Haifa, where video footage captured a missile slamming into a building and plumes of black smoke rising over the skyline. Emergency responders rushed to the scene as a large fire erupted. Four people were injured in Haifa, including a 72-year-old woman in moderate condition, medics say.

In an interview with Fox News on Sunday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu revealed that the IDF has successfully eliminated two senior Iranian military officials in Tehran: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence chief Brigadier General Mohammad Kazemi and his deputy, General Hassan Mohaqiq. Speaking to anchor Bret Baier, Netanyahu said, “Moments ago, I can tell you we got their chief intelligence officer and his deputy in Tehran.” A Reuters report, citing two US officials, said that President Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei over the weekend. When questioned about the Reuters report during his Fox News interview, Netanyahu dismissed it outright.

One of the missiles that Iran fired at Israel in the early hours of Sunday morning scored a direct hit on an apartment building in the central city of Bat Yam and Rechvot. In Bat Yam, six people were killed, including two children, an eight-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy, and two women, aged 69 and 80. Later on Sunday morning, two more bodies were recovered from the rubble. Dozens are missing, and search operations are underway at the site. MDA reported that paramedics treated 99 people at the impact site in Bat Yam, including four in serious condition, seven in moderate condition, and 88 with light injuries. Bat Yam resident Meir Yehuda told Kan News, “The entire neighborhood was filled with smoke. The road was covered in glass, window shutters, and all kinds of debris.

Sirens blared in northern Israel at about 11:15 p.m. on Motzei Shabbos after another Iranian missile barrage was fired toward Israel. Residents of Haifa and the Krayot area reported hearing the sounds of loud explosions. Shortly after 11 p.m. on Motzei Shabbos, the Home Front Command ordered residents throughout the country to stay near protected spaces. “The IDF has identified that a short time ago, missiles were launched from Iran towards the territory of the State of Israel,” the statement said. “The defense systems are working to intercept the threat. Enter the protected spaces upon receiving an alert and stay there until further notice. Exiting the protected space will only be possible after receiving explicit instructions.

Three people were killed by missiles fired by Iran at Israel on Friday night and early Shabbos morning. A man and a woman in central Israel were pronounced dead early Shabbos morning after a missile struck a residential neighborhood in central Israel. Twenty-seven people were injured and evacuated to nearby hospitals. Extensive damage was caused to buildings and vehicles in the area. The mayor of the city where the strike occurred told Kan Reshet Bet: “These are the most difficult images I have ever seen. You have to see what is happening here to understand why you need to stay in protected spaces.” On Friday night, a 60-year-old woman was killed and 62 people were injured by missiles fired from Iran that fell in several locations in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

Iran launched a massive barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel late Friday night, as sirens blared across the country and civilians rushed to bomb shelters. The IDF confirmed that it had detected the launch of over dozens of ballistic missiles from Iran, with many aimed at central Israel, including Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan region. The assault follows Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear targets, which have left the Islamic Republic reeling. 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.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Nation on Friday afternoon and says the strikes against Iran were ordered in November 2024, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Netanyahu revealed that the decision was driven by fears Iran would accelerate its nuclear ambitions after its proxy network was dismantled by Israel. Originally planned for late April 2025, the operation was delayed for undisclosed reasons. However, after Israeli strikes crippled Iran’s ballistic missile program last year, intelligence revealed Tehran was producing 300 ballistic missiles monthly. “We decided we couldn’t wait anymore. We are at midnight,” Netanyahu declared.

Israel duped the Islamic Republic prior to its unprecedented attack on Iranian soil overnight Thursday in a number of ways, including hinting that nothing would happen before Avner Netanyahu’s wedding next week; US envoy Steve Witkoff’s fictitious meeting with Iran on Sunday; and Trump’s “warnings” to Netanyahu to refrain from attacking Iran, Channel 12 News reported. According to Yisrael Hayom, military analysts are calling the deception operation the most sophisticated in Israel’s modern history.

The Israeli Air Force has destroyed the Natanz nuclear facility in the massive surprise attacks early Friday morning. Multiple waves of Israeli strikes were reported throughout Iran for several hours, starting at around 3 a.m. and into the morning. Over 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft were involved in the opening strikes, and fighter jets dropped over 330 munitions on some 100 targets, the IDF said. Blasts were reported in Natanz, the site of a key nuclear facility, as well as in and around the capital Tehran. Netanyahu and Iranian state TV confirmed that one target of the strikes was the Natanz enrichment facility, one of two underground nuclear sites in the country, the other being at Fordo.
