Iran Strikes Back at Israel in Major Assault; 24 Killed, 853 Wounded
Tel Aviv, Beersheba, Negev targeted in deadly week: Iran uses advanced “Sejjil” ballistic missile for the first time: Israel's defence systems fail to stop Iranian missile 'attacks:
Tehran-In a dramatic escalation of regional tensions, Iran has launched a large-scale retaliatory attack on Israel, resulting in at least 24 deaths and 853 injuries. The assault, which involved a coordinated barrage of ballistic missiles and drone strikes, caused significant destruction across multiple regions, including Tel Aviv, Beersheba, and the Negev Desert. Over the course of the weeklong hostilities, at least six missiles struck four key areas within Israel, further intensifying the conflict and raising concerns of a broader regional crisis.
One of the most symbolic blows came as Israel’s Stock Exchange building was reduced to rubble, prompting the evacuation of thousands of Israeli civilians from the affected zones.
In Holon, the use of Iran’s Sijjil missile left dozens injured, while scenes of devastation were reported in southern cities like Beersheba and other key infrastructure sites.
In retaliation, Israel claimed to have targeted Iran’s heavy water research reactor located in Khondab, marking a dangerous new phase in the escalating conflict.
Early today, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel, deploying the advanced “Sejjil” ballistic missile for the first time.
According to Iranian sources, the Sejjil missile successfully penetrated Israel’s defence systems, hitting its intended targets.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared that the Sejjil possesses the capability to challenge and bypass Israel’s sophisticated air defence systems.
Iranian media reported a new salvo of missiles fired at Israel on Thursday, as the rivals traded fire for a seventh day.
“The missiles roared over Tel Aviv,” the Iranian news agency Fars reported, while state television broadcast live images of the commercial hub.
In response, Israeli sources have claimed they launched additional missiles targeting Tehran, escalating the standoff.
Simultaneously, reports indicate that Iran temporarily shut down internet services, possibly as a security precaution during military operations.
