Iran fired salvos into Israel last night, with attacks continuing into the early hours of this morning. Cities across the Holy Land were targeted, sending millions rushing to bomb shelters.
The Times of Israel reports that three people were lightly injured in Tel Aviv, along with one person in a suburb of Haifa. They were treated on-site by medics, who found them well enough to walk on their own and determined that hospitalization was not required.
Home Front Command official Col. Miki David said the warhead caused significant damage to three nearby buildings but resulted in no serious injuries.
“I’m happy to say that in this incident you’re seeing behind me, which appears visually dramatic, there are only three light injuries,” he told reporters at the scene, adding that most residents took cover in a nearby bomb shelter.
David further assessed the considerable damage caused by the projectile, indicating that it did not split off from a cluster munition, but noted it still appears to have been smaller than the conventional, non-cluster, warheads previously launched by Iran.
Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai told reporters at the scene that “many homes were damaged, and I assume others will be found when the examination is over.”
The intensity of Iran’s strikes has begun to slow, with roughly 10 missiles being launched daily instead of around 90 at the start of the war. Yesterday, the IDF said that about 330 of the regime’s 470 ballistic launchers have been destroyed in strikes.
The IAF also confirmed it struck the IRGC’s main security headquarters in Tehran. Other terror sites were targeted at the same time. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council is negotiating a draft resolution to get Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, as U.S. President Donald Trump claimed his administration was engaged in talks—though this has not been confirmed by Iran.
We praise God for the resilience and protection of His people. These overnight strikes could have been far worse. The Fellowship and our supporters also continue to pray for the residents of Tel Aviv, along with our staff and partners on the ground in the city who are enhancing bomb shelters and providing aid to the displaced.
