Iran struck back Friday night after Israel’s massive attack earlier in the day, firing a barrage of ballistic missiles. Most were intercepted by Israel’s air defenses, but a few were seen making impact in Tel Aviv.
In one video published on social media, onlookers can be seen watching Israel’s intercepted strike the incoming missiles, before one missile is seen making impact amid skyscrapers in downtown Tel Aviv.

Israel’s Army Radio reported shortly after 10:00 p.m. that Iran had fired about 150 missiles, not all of which made it to Israel. Dozens were intercepted, and there were several direct impacts in central Israel.
Seven people were reported to have been injured, most lightly; one person was reported to have moderate injuries.
A second wave of missiles followed, targeting northern Israel and southern Israel. No injuries were reported.
Army Radio reported that a total of ten missiles had fallen onto Israeli territory between the two attack waves.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) published a map of locations where air raid sirens had been triggered, and noted that while Israel had targeted Iranian military sites, the Iranian regime was targeting Israeli civilians.

As of 10:09 p.m., Iran claimed that a third wave of missiles had been launched toward Israel.
Israelis, who had been warned about the first two waves, were told by the Home Front Command that they were allowed to leave their bomb shelters, but advised to stay nearby, lest another attack emerge overnight.
Update: The IDF said that fewer than 100 missiles in total had been launched. Reports on social media indicated that the number of injured had grown to 40, including two who were in critical condition.
