Iran’s missile strike rocks Tel Aviv: BBC reports from rubble-strewn frontline

Iran's missile strike on Tel Aviv marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

A barrage of Iranian missiles struck Israel on Sunday, targeting the city of Tel Aviv and causing damage in the Ramat Aviv neighborhood. Emergency workers swiftly responded, clearing rubble and evacuating six people with minor injuries from a damaged building, while searches continued for anyone trapped inside.

"Emergency workers raced to clear rubble from the site of an Iranian missile attack in the Tel Aviv neighbourhood of Ramat Aviv," reported BBC Middle East correspondent Hugo Bachega from the frontline.

The missile strike came hours after the U.S. launched a series of strikes on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities, which U.S. officials described as a "spectacular military success" aimed at halting Iran's nuclear threat.

Israeli military officials confirmed they had conducted multiple strikes in southwestern Iran, targeting dozens of military sites. The conflict has resulted in at least 430 deaths and 3,500 injuries in Iran since Israel began its attacks.

"Israel has emerged as an unchallenged military power, Iran and its ‘axis of resistance’ are in disarray," analysts noted, highlighting the dramatic shift in regional power dynamics.

This direct confrontation between Israel and Iran, following decades of covert conflict, signals a new phase of open hostilities with significant regional implications.

The situation remains volatile as both sides continue military operations, with international attention focused on the escalating violence and its potential to further destabilize the Middle East.
