Iranian missiles have hit parts of Tel Aviv, Israel, causing widespread damage to buildings and killing at least four people. The attack directly hit civilian areas, with the impact of the explosions shaking many neighborhoods in the city.
Initial reports also indicate that a number of other civilians were injured in the attacks, some of them in critical condition. Emergency teams are working quickly in the affected areas, rescuing people under the rubble and those trapped in damaged buildings.
Reports from the Middle East indicate that the situation remains tense, with the escalating tensions causing new clashes in the region.
Meanwhile, Israel continues its airstrikes inside Lebanon, targeting what it says are Iranian-linked militias. The move is part of a growing regional standoff.
US President Donald Trump has said talks with Iran are underway to explore the possibility of a comprehensive deal to end the crisis. He noted that Iran now appears to be seeking a peaceful solution.
However, the Iranian government has strongly denied the existence of the talks, with the speaker of the Iranian parliament calling the claims “fake news” aimed at influencing financial and oil markets.
The military situation in the region remains tense, with US Central Command (CENTCOM) saying it is carrying out heavy strikes against Iranian targets.
