IDF HQ hit by Iranian missiles; major damage as Iran fires barrage at Tel Aviv

Israel’s military headquarters were struck after Iran’s Islamic Republic unleashed a barrage of missiles on central Tel Aviv late Friday night, causing “significant damage” to the Jewish state’s equivalent of the Pentagon. Alarming footage shared on social media — and verified by The New York Times — showed a strike slamming into an area that houses several military sites, including the Israel Defense Forces’ main command center. The dramatic clips captured interceptor missiles firing into the sky moments before a blinding flash, a thunderous boom, and the explosion of an incoming warhead. The videos suggest that at least one Iranian missile breached Israel’s air defenses and hit a sensitive command site in the heart of Tel Aviv. “This is Israel’s version of the Pentagon, the Kiryat, and the building on this compound was just hit,” according to Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, who was at the scene.“There is significant damage.” Yingst, who was forced to run for cover as a “massive amount” of Iranian missiles rained down earlier, said that the country also used around 150 ballistic missiles to target residential areas and military installations around Tel Aviv. “These ballistic missiles make the rockets that were being fired from Gaza look like toys,” he added.The IDF has not confirmed whether its headquarters were hit, but released raw footage showing Iran firing off waves of ballistic missiles at the Jewish state for hours on Friday. “The IDF cannot, and will not, allow Iran to attack our civilians,” the military agency posted on X. Israel launched large-scale airstrikes against Iran Friday aimed at obliterating Iranian nuclear and military facilities, as well as a swath of top military commanders. At least three Israelis were killed in Iran’s retaliatory barrage, officials said just before 9 a.m. local time on Saturday. Two died when missiles struck in Rishon Lezion, just south of Tel Aviv, Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom told CNN. #news #worldtvnews #iran #war #israel
