Tel Aviv: Israel has declared that it is "under fire" as Iran initiated a retaliatory attack in response to Israeli military operations targeting its nuclear and military facilities. The escalation began on Friday night with Israel identifying multiple missiles launched towards its territory. According to Anadolu Agency, the Iranian offensive, dubbed "Operation True Promise III," was reported by Iran's Press TV to have made direct impacts in Tel Aviv. The Israeli military confirmed that the attack was ongoing, with dozens of additional missiles targeting various locations within Israel. Reports from Israeli media indicated that loud explosions were heard throughout central Israel, following the activation of sirens in the region. This marks a significant escalation in tensions as Israel had earlier conducted a series of military operations early Friday. These operations targeted key Iranian locations and resulted in the deaths of prominent military commanders and scientists, with attacks continuing into Fri day night across cities including Tehran, Natanz, Tabriz, and Isfahan.
