A video has surfaced showing Israeli soldiers seeking cover as Iran fired over 400 ballistic missiles targeting critical sites across Israel. The missiles were launched from various cities, including Isfahan, Tabriz, Khorramabad, Karaj, and Arak, triggering sirens across the country, including in occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli media reported that rockets struck Tel Aviv and the Sharon region, resulting in injuries. Israel’s ambulance services confirmed that two individuals were wounded during the attacks. The footage depicts soldiers lying on a mountain peak, attempting to protect themselves from the incoming missile fire.

In the midst of the chaos, civilians rushed to shelters, leading to several injuries during the frantic evacuations. As a precaution, Israeli airspace has been closed, and airport passengers have been moved to safer areas. Tehran Times reported that one of the targeted locations was the Nevatim Air Base, home to Israel’s F-35 fighter jets.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the missile strikes, stating they were in retaliation for Israeli actions against Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. The IRGC further warned that any military response from Israel would result in even more severe attacks. U.S. reports indicated that some missiles landed just one kilometer from the headquarters of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.
