According to Israeli state broadcaster KAN, Iran's latest strikes targeted several buildings in southern Tel Aviv. Morning attacks reportedly left 2 people dead and 21 others injured, 3 of them seriously.
Israel's attacks on Tehran were reportedly intercepted by air defense systems stationed at the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization. Multiple explosions were seen in the sky above central Tehran as the air defense systems responded.
Iran's Mehr News Agency published a second written statement regarding the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) "Sadiq Vaat-3" (Faithful Promise-3) operation.
The statement claimed that the military bases and industrial centers producing military equipment, identified as the origins of the attack on Iran, were successfully targeted.
As Iran launched a new wave of ballistic missile attacks on Tel Aviv in response to Israeli aggression, Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Vahidi stated that operations against Israel would continue for as long as deemed necessary.
In Tehran's Enghelab (Revolution) Square, hundreds of people gathered to celebrate Iran's missile response against Israel, chanting religious slogans.
Carrying Iranian and Palestinian flags, as well as Hezbollah banners, Iranians expressed gratitude toward the armed forces.
Crowds watched footage of the missile strikes on large screens set up in the square.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei addressed the nation in a televised message aired by state TV.
Khamenei stated: "Our armed forces will act with determination and will crush the vile Zionist regime. This regime will not escape punishment for its crimes. The Iranian people can rest assured that this matter will not be taken lightly."
