Iranian missiles continue to strike Tel Aviv
Stockholm, June 14 (Hibya) – Iranian missiles rained down on Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel’s surprise airstrike on Friday morning. While Tehran vowed to “open the gates of hell,” new explosions were heard early Saturday morning in the Iranian capital.
Benjamin Netanyahu warned that “more is on the way” and stated that Israel’s attempt to destroy Iran’s nuclear program has just begun.
Late Friday, both Iran and Israel reported a new wave of Iranian missile attacks, with explosions heard over Jerusalem. In northern Tehran, residents reported new blasts after the state news agency IRNA reported fresh Israeli attacks.
An Israeli military spokesperson stated that Iran launched up to 100 missiles in waves during the early evening hours, most of which were intercepted or missed their targets, but a few breached Israel’s multilayered defense.
Around 9:00 p.m., sirens blared in Tel Aviv, and emergency alerts rang on phones. Half an hour later, the city echoed with mid-air explosions from the Arrow missile defense system, which destroyed part of the Iranian arsenal. Debris fell to the ground, and explosions were heard from several Iranian warheads that hit their targets.
Israel’s ambulance service reported that 34 people were injured in the Tel Aviv area on Friday night, most of them lightly. Police later confirmed one fatality.
The attack began after a televised speech by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He said, “The armed forces of the Islamic Republic will strike this malicious enemy with heavy blows.” He also noted that the consequences of Israel’s attack “will lead to its destruction.”

The Israeli attacks carried out at dawn on Friday hit more than 100 targets across Iran, including nuclear facilities and missile sites. In what Tehran described as a “declaration of war,” senior military commanders and scientists were killed.
