Iran Launches Missile Strikes on Tel Aviv and Haifa as Israel Conflict Escalates into Fourth Day

The immediate aftermath of the missile attacks was chaos. In Tel Aviv, a city bursting with life, businesses shuttered their doors and citizens rushed for the nearest bomb shelters, some carrying small children wrapped in blankets, others clutching elderly relatives or hastily packed bags. In neighboring Haifa, a vital port and industrial center, factory alarms joined the cacophony. Emergency services rushed to affected neighborhoods, picking through rubble in a desperate search for survivors. Amidst the dust and wreckage, the city’s famed skyline was marred by rising smoke. Social media feeds quickly filled with frantic messages—calls to loved ones, desperate pleas for help, video footage of interceptor missiles and fiery impacts. Hospitals kicked into emergency mode, treating the injured and bracing for the possibility of further strikes.
