Iran launched a third wave of missile attacks early Saturday, targeting Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, with several buildings reportedly destroyed, according to Israeli media.
Channel 12 reported that missiles struck four locations in Tel Aviv, causing major damage. One of the missiles “completely destroyed” a building in the city, according to Israel's Home Front Command.
Haaretz reported that nine buildings in Ramat Gan were also destroyed following direct hits, prompting mass evacuations. Additionally multiple cars were also reported damaged.
Israel’s fire authority said crews were battling flames in central Tel Aviv caused by the strike, but did not provide further details.
The Israeli military confirmed a fresh wave of missile launches from Iran and said some were intercepted. Sirens and alerts were triggered across multiple areas.
“In the last hour, dozens of missiles have been launched at the State of Israel from Iran, some of which were intercepted,” the army said on X. “Search and rescue teams are operating in several areas where impacts have been reported.”
Loud explosions were also heard over occupied East Jerusalem and in Jordanian airspace as interceptors responded to the incoming missiles.
