Israelis on Saturday described the fear, chaos and confusion as several Iranian missiles slammed into houses and apartments in central Israel overnight, causing widespread destruction, killing three people and wounding dozens.

Warning sirens sent millions of people rushing for safe rooms and bomb shelters as Iran fired several waves of missiles in response to Israeli strikes on its military leadership and nuclear program. While the IDF said most were intercepted, several missiles — apparently armed with large explosive warheads — slammed into homes in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Rishon Lezion.

“We shut the door, started watching the news through the computer, and suddenly there was a boom so loud that the whole building teetered,” Tali Horesh, resident of a Tel Aviv high-rise that was hit Friday night, told the Ynet news site.


“A few minutes later we opened the door because the smoke detector went off,” she said. “The entire living room was full of smoke, and we went back to the safe room.”

Horesh and her family remained in the safe room for some two hours before rescuers managed to reach them, Ynet said.

“On the lower floors the destruction was massive,” she said. “Running water, doors tossed aside, a mess. And the lobby was totally ruined.”

Rescuers, including hundreds of IDF Home Front Command soldiers, firefighters, police officers, medics, engineers and sniffer dogs remained at the site for hours, ensuring that no one was trapped in the building.

Col. (res.) Michael David, who leads the Home Front’s Tel Aviv command, told Ynet that his forces were trained to handle such situations and received reinforcements, but said: “This is an event of a magnitude we haven’t seen in the past.”

“We’re getting a picture of… the people who live in the building, to know if there is anyone missing or trapped. It’s a Sisyphic task that can take hours, especially when we’re talking about very high buildings, with many hundreds of tenants,” he said. “We won’t leave until we’ve made sure we didn’t leave any resident behind.”

That barrage impacted several areas of Tel Aviv and nearby Ramat Gan. A total of 63 people were injured, including a woman who was critically hurt and later succumbed to her wounds.

Another barrage in the early hours of Saturday morning hit a residential area in Rishon Lezion, also near Tel Aviv. A man, identified as Yisrael Aloni, 73, and another woman were killed, and at least 20 people were wounded.

A three-month-old baby was among those rescued from the rubble.

“I pulled her into my arms and then gave her to the first police officer I saw, and then started lifting out all the other family ,” Fire and Rescue Service Captain Idan Chen told the Walla news site.

“As we were doing this, there were people trapped in the home above and next door — and opposite there was a fire — and I’m trying to manage the incident amid complete destruction,” he said.
The baby was lightly wounded.

Neighbors described the chaos.

“The kids and I were sleeping, my wife’s abroad. The moment there was a siren, we flew down to the safe room,” Avi Gatenio, a resident of the area, told Channel 12.

“Five minutes later, we heard a boom, but it was muffled, because everything was closed,” he said. Going outside, he said, he saw his neighborhood was damaged and helped an elderly couple out of the rubble, “so nothing else collapses on them.”

“Right after that, I went back to the kids, because they were frightened,” said Gatenio.


“Thank God, nothing happened to us, we didn’t even get a scratch,” he said, pointing to shards of glass on the ground: “Glass like that can hit a kid’s central artery and kill them.”

Iran’s strikes began less than a day after Israel first targeted the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities, missile factories, and military leadership, killing dozens and wounding hundreds. The Israeli attacks in Iran are ongoing.

Israel has sought to prevent Iran from enriching uranium, which is necessary to produce nuclear arms. Iran’s leaders, who are sworn to destroy Israel, publicly reject nuclear arms, but enrich uranium to a rate of 60% — far beyond what is necessary for civilian use, and a short step away from weapons-grade.

Expensive multibillion dollars defence toys like Iron dome, David slingshot and US Patriot/ THAAD lule pii when Iran missiles were dropping on Isreal.

No doubt, Iran is a formidable foe and it explains why US has been avoiding direct confrontation with Iran

War is bad. All the warring sides should stop these wars.

Just in: Iran strikes Isreal's Haifa oil refinery.

This op has been crying since yesterday carrying AI generated pictures as video as proof that his beloved are winning the fight

I pity him ooo

No war ended with missiles or bombs

It is always on the negotiation table

Stop the war now and let diplomacy prevail

Are you joking or something. I don't see any destruction

No war ended with missiles or bombs

It is always on the negotiation table

Stop the war now

This is not good on both sides. Iran should have known that US is behind this and refrained from retaliating. Israel cannot lose in the middle east. America will not allow that. In fact, this is actually US war against Iran because of the nuclear deal.

I hope those praising Iran now will not flood the Internet later with the legendary "pray for this and pray for that" as if they experienced an earthquake, hurricane and tsunami.

Let's sue for peace on both sides.

Na this same building 😂😂😂😂
20 top military personnel
No be beans

Israel 🇮🇱 strike first and now they Iranian retaliated, they are crying 😭. first to do no dey pain. God help us all.

Ah beg low the volume..
The guy doesn't know that even the Iranian Islamic regime would be ashamed of him...most of their leaders have started running away for their dear lifes from iran...

The next slogan would be regime change

Well, they are now undergoing what the ISRAELIS in the north and south of the country undergo from Iranian backed groups that throw missiles at them on a daily basis. in those good old days.

Still, at the end of the day, war between two nuke powered nations is scary stuff.

All in all

Another senseless war.. its just the civilians I pity. The useless leaders from both countries can go to he'll.

Israel is definitely winning with the help of U.S ofcourse.

Iran Don quarrel with all their neighbours finish... ally no dey.

We will only know the winner of this present conflict after the dust settles, everyone knows that Iran can also attack Israel so this is not a surprise
If Israel manages to eliminate their supreme leader then we can say Israel won this conflict

Israel should retaliate, an eye for an eye
Nairaland go ban me now for wetin no concern them

Terrorist Netanyahu relies on western powers.
Iran will still triumph.
Netanyahu has spilled too much blood.He must be held responsible

IIranian Navy prevents British warship from entering Persian Gulf amid suspected Israeli coordination
Politics
June 14, 2025 - 21:36

TEHRAN – The Iranian Navy announced that it stopped a British destroyer in the Sea of Oman after the vessel entered the region to assist the Zionist regime in guiding missile strikes toward Iranian territory.

In a statement released by the Public Relations Office of the First Naval Zone, the Navy said the British warship entered the northern Indian Ocean late Saturday night with suspicious intent. Iranian surveillance systems detected the vessel early, and Navy combat drones were dispatched to respond.

“The vessel was prevented from continuing toward the Persian Gulf following clear and direct warnings issued by Iranian naval drones,” the statement said. “Thanks to the timely vigilance of our intelligence systems, the destroyer was identified, tracked, and ultimately forced to change course.”

According to the Navy, the destroyer had effectively fallen into the operational trap of Iranian intelligence and maritime defense units in the Sea of Oman and was compelled to retreat.

This incident comes amid escalating tensions in the region following recent Israeli attacks on Iranian targets and Iran’s subsequent retaliatory operation under Operation True Promise III, which involved missile and drone strikes on strategic Israeli positions in the occupied territories.

The Iranian Navy reaffirmed that any movement threatening national security or ing enemy aggression would be met with immediate and decisive action.

What is formidable in a country that cannot protect itself ..
Usreal has eliminated anyone who is somebody in that country...You can imagine what will happen by the time unreal focuses on civilian area like Iran is doing ...Iran is just overrated loud mouth ..That they allowed 200 jets to operate unhindered in there air space is a shame .. let me gear anyone talk about genocide ....isreal doesn't complain ...they handle there problem themselves

ClearFlair:
Are you joking or something. I don't see any destruction

Do you expect Israel to show you the extent of their humiliation?

Iran was on her own you went to attack them. Same way Saddam Hussain was said to possess weapons of mass destruction and NATO used that opportunity to destroy Iraq , same play book of accusing Iran of developing nuclear weapons since the 19s. Iran is no push over , they will respond to any attack.

Without America there is no Israel so rest oga.

If Iran put in as much effort into this war as they do in propaganda, they'd have at least done some damage.

80% of their top commanders all wiped out and all they have to show is 3 out of 150 missiles hitting civilians and lots of news reports, while the Israeli air force are parading undetered in Iranian airspace.

Jokers.

Israel struck only with precision to avoid unnecessary casualties and limit destruction to public infrastructure but if Israel chooses to be as reckless as Iran it will be another screaming of genocide like in gaza.
