(MENAFN) Iran unleashed a fresh salvo of missiles toward central Israel on Tuesday, striking numerous locations in and around Tel Aviv as well as Jerusalem.

Israel’s national first aid service, Magen David Adom, reported that ten civilians were hurt while dashing for shelters after air raid sirens wailed across Tel Aviv’s districts.

A Public broadcaster said one Iranian projectile smashed into a building in the greater Tel Aviv area, leaving five people wounded.

Although the public broadcaster did not pinpoint the exact address, it confirmed the casualties occurred during Tehran’s latest missile wave aimed at Israeli soil.

Police noted that the bombardment also inflicted property destruction in Tel Aviv. Local media described deafening blasts above both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as air defense batteries intercepted incoming missiles.

According to an Israeli news outlet, roughly thirty missiles were fired, with some falling across central Israel, including the coastal city of Herzliya.

An Iranian news agency acknowledged that the assault involved both missiles and drones.

Regional frictions have intensified since Friday, when Israel carried out co ordinated airstrikes on several Iranian targets—among them military and nuclear sites—prompting Tehran’s ongoing retaliatory attacks.
