Tel Aviv Rocked, Haifa Burning – Iran's Blistering Barrage of Ballistic Missiles
Turns out the night turned into a scorcher for Israel! On the 16th of June, Iran decided it was high time to light up the skies with a barrage of ballistic missiles, aiming squarely at Israeli soil. The results? Chaos, destruction, and lives lost in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and beyond, as video footage and images revealed after the strikes confirmed.
Urban landscapes have taken a beating, with entire buildings reduced to ruins, and buildings like a fortified shelter in Petah Tikvah - which houses the odd bomb shelter - severely damaged by the Iranian missile strike, resulting in the tragic loss of five Israeli lives seeking shelter. Haifa and Bnei Brak near Tel Aviv also suffered devastating strikes, resulting in 3 and 1 casualty respectively, taking the total deaths to 9 Israelis since Operation True Promise 3 kicked off. Nearly 600 injuries have also been reported, leaving a trail of heartbreak in its wake.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had a field day, declaring, "Our operation proved that the Zionist enemy's calculations regarding Iran were completely wrong." The IRGC added smugly, "Our missiles successfully hit their targets despite US support and the enemy's possession of modern defense technologies."
Tel Aviv was the epicenter of the chaos, with strategic buildings and residential towers bearing the brunt of the Iranian onslaught. The Haifa power station was also under siege, taking repeated hits from Iranian hypersonic missiles, along with other major electricity and oil infrastructure, the Bazan Chemicals Complex, and the Haifa refinery. Power outages were reported in the center of Israel as a result.
Nevatim airbase in the Negev desert and an army camp in the Galilee were also hit, along with several military installations. Israeli military censorship has been imposed, keeping the public in the dark about the extent of the damage.
Iranian Major General Mohsen Rezaei warned, "We are still exercising restraint and have not deployed all our capabilities to avoid global chaos. However, we may reach a point where we use new weapons."
Tel Aviv's nightmare didn't start last night; rather, it was a continuation of violence following earlier barrages on Sunday evening and afternoon. Israel's war on Iran continues unabated, with its strikes targeting not only military sites, but also civilian infrastructure, including ports, airports, hospitals, and a civil defense site. The death toll among Iranians stands at 224, with around 1,000 injuries since the onset of the US-backed war against Iran.
With the future of this conflict uncertain, the eyes of the world are on these two nations, looking for signs of a resolution to the escalating tensions. However, with both sides showing clear signs of military escalation, it seems the road to détente remains long and fraught with danger.
