Tel Aviv awoke to a terrifying Tuesday as Iran unleashed a barrage of missiles in what Tehran called a campaign of revenge. Back-to-back strikes triggered blaring air raid sirens across the city, forcing residents into shelters as the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) confirmed multiple incoming attacks.
At least seven people were killed and more than 100 injured when an Iranian ballistic missile hit Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, overnight on Sunday, domestic media reported. Other reports put the death toll at six people. Israel's police said residential buildings took a "direct hit that caused extensive damage."
