14 Injured As Iran Launches Over 100 Missiles Into Israel
At least 14 people have been reportedly injured in northern Israel after Iran launched a fresh missile attack late Saturday as part of its ongoing military operation tagged “True Promise 3”.
Israeli officials say more than 100 projectiles were fired in the second wave, with Haifa and Tel Aviv among the primary targets.
Israel’s emergency medical service, Magen David Adom (MDA), reported that one person is in critical condition and several others sustained varying degrees of injury after a missile struck a two-storey building in the Western Galilee region.
Fire and rescue services confirmed widespread damage to residential buildings, debris in coastal areas, and multiple fires in open spaces.
Israeli police said an explosive device had landed in a community in the Northern District, with several casualties and damage confirmed at the scene. Security forces are securing the impact zones.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the missiles were launched directly from Iran and said its air defence systems were actively intercepting the incoming threats. Fighter jets were simultaneously deployed to strike targets inside Tehran.
“People must stay in protected areas and follow the Home Front Command’s instructions,” the military said in a statement, though officials later allowed residents to leave shelters while remaining alert.
Meanwhile, Iranian state TV claimed the latest barrage was aimed at “disrupting the sleep of residents” in major Israeli cities, declaring the offensive as a continuation of its retaliation campaign.
Explosions were reported in the Haifa and Kiryat regions, and sirens sounded across northern Israel and even in Amman, Jordan, which has now closed its airspace in response to the escalating conflict.
Despite the intensity of the strikes, MDA noted that no emergency calls were received following the latest alarms, though teams were deployed to investigate two suspected impact zones.
Iran’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that radiation levels near the Isfahan nuclear site remained stable, even after Israeli airstrikes damaged four critical buildings at the facility.
In Jerusalem, authorities have warned of further Iranian strikes later in the night. Residents across Israel have been advised to remain close to bomb shelters.
Amid growing international concern, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told French President Emmanuel Macron that his country will not return to nuclear talks until Israel halts its military operations.
Residents of Tehran expressed fear and fatigue as tensions mounted. Many described sleepless nights and memories of the Iran-Iraq war being rekindled by the ongoing bombardment.
“This is extremely hard and painful. We are all living in fear, exhaustion, and stress,” one woman told BBC Persian.
