Israeli occupation authorities activated sirens across vast areas from north to south after Iran launched a new barrage of rockets, estimated at around 20 missiles, in a serious escalation of the ongoing military confrontation between the two sides. A state of panic swept through the population as the sound of powerful and successive explosions was heard in various areas, notably Tel Aviv, Haifa, Be’er Sheva, and Ashkelon, according to Hebrew media reports.

The scope of the targeting extended to other areas such as the Galilee, Carmel, Jordan Valley, and the Gulf, reaching the city of Eilat in the far south, where a building was hit directly. So far, official authorities have refrained from disclosing additional details about the extent of damage and material losses.
Amid this intense bombardment, Israel's emergency services announced that several people were injured in multiple locations, while rescue and firefighting teams rushed to contain fires and explosions. A rocket reportedly fell in Haifa, further heightening tension and anxiety among Israelis as the state of maximum alert continues in anticipation of new waves of rocket fire.

Meanwhile, military movements on the ground continue, as Israeli political circles call for a strong response to what they described as the "blatant Iranian aggression," while the world holds its breath, awaiting further developments on the ground.
