n June 13, 2025, Iran launched a large-scale missile barrage—part of its “Operation True Promise III”—in retaliation for Israel’s “Operation Rising Lion” airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites. Dozens of ballistic missiles—in some cases breaching Israel’s Iron Dome and aided by U.S. interceptions—struck central Tel Aviv and surrounding areas, damaging buildings, causing fires, and injuring around 30–40 civilians. Emergency services rescued trapped residents from high-rises, and search‑and‑rescue operations continue amid heightened regional tensions.
