In the aftermath of Iran’s missile strikes on Israel, Israel has, in a first, admitted significant damage to “civilian” infrastructure.
According to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, around 100 homes were damaged in Hod Hasharon, a town located just north of Tel Aviv, following Iranian missile bombardment.
The strikes were launched in retaliation for the assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Footage shared by Quds News Network shows one of the missile impact sites, a mere 500 meters from the Mossad headquarters, highlighting the proximity of the attacks to critical Israeli intelligence operations.
The damage to the area has intensified concerns regarding the extent of Iran’s military reach and Israel’s defensive capabilities.
Pertinently, the admission comes as a first from Israel, which often remains silent on the damages caused by Anti-Israel forces.
Non western media houses operating in the middle East have reported that a significant damage was caused to the military infrastructure of Israel during the Iranian airstrikes. Local media reports from Palestine suggested that 20 F 35 jets were damaged during the strikes.
These missile strikes come amid escalating tensions between the two nations, as Iran continues to retaliate for Israeli actions in Gaza and Lebanon.
