Iranian Missiles Bombard Tel Aviv's Heart as Explosions Ring Out Across the City

Latest Iranian missile attack triggers a wave of explosions across Tel Aviv. Firefighters battled to extinguish a blaze in a residential building near a commercial hub in the area occupied by Israel. According to AFP, Friday (6 March 2026), the explosions occurred after Israel broadened its campaign against Hezbollah, vowing to avenge the militant group backed by Tehran for joining the conflict following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran’s state television said Tehran had fired missiles ‘at targets in the heart of Tel Aviv,’ after the Israeli military said it was attempting to intercept the Iranian volley that came on Thursday night. An AFP reporter in Tel Aviv heard two nearly simultaneous explosions reverberating across the city. A rocket trail also lit up the sky over Netanya, a city north of Tel Aviv on Israel’s Mediterranean coast. Following the rocket attack, emergency services Magen David Adom (MDA) said their teams had visited several locations reported to have been hit, but there were no fatalities. Israeli police said they are ‘currently dealing with the scene of the incident involving missiles that fell in central Israel,’ adding that there was ‘damage’ but no injuries. A projectile struck a building on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, prompting residents to evacuate. At another residential site near Israel’s economic hub, firefighters worked to extinguish the fire caused by debris after the Iranian rocket salvo was successfully intercepted. Israel’s Home Front Command issued several rocket-warning alerts this morning for communities near the Lebanon border.
