The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a wave of airstrikes against government targets in Tehran. This action came after Israel detected a new round of Iranian missiles directed towards its territory, prompting alerts in various zones of the country. Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv, Israel's main economic center. However, the emergency service Magen David Adom reported no casualties, and the army subsequently announced that the population could leave shelters in all regions of the territory. The announcement followed reports from Iranian state media about an explosion in the western part of the capital. As part of the military offensive announced by Israel against targets in the country, Mehrabad Airport in Tehran caught fire. Iranian state media reported loud explosions in different parts of the city, with visible smoke columns in both the eastern and western sectors. The detonations occurred after the Israeli army confirmed the start of a new wave of bombings against targets in Tehran. Iranian media reports indicated that one of the sites hit was Mehrabad Airport, where flames and smoke were observed following the impacts. The airport complex is located in the western part of the city and is one of the country's main air hubs. In parallel, Iranian media stated that Iran responded with attacks on Tel Aviv, Israel's main economic center, in a new escalation of the conflict between the two countries. The offensive and military responses are escalating tensions in the Middle East amidst an exchange of attacks involving the major cities of both nations, keeping the region on high alert.
