In a dramatic escalation of Middle East tensions, Iran launched two waves of missiles into Israel on Sunday, retaliating against U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities earlier this week. The strikes hit central Israel, including densely populated areas like Ness Ziona, Ramat Gan, and Haifa’s Carmel district, leaving widespread destruction and shocked residents in their wake. 💥
CGTN Stringer Vlad Sokolov captured footage of the aftermath in Ness Ziona, where homes were reduced to rubble and survivors grappled with the chaos. Tel Aviv, Israel’s bustling cultural hub, also suffered direct hits—raising fears of a broader regional conflict. 🏙️🔥
The attack marks the first time Iran has directly targeted Israeli soil in years, signaling a dangerous shift in geopolitical dynamics. Analysts warn the strikes could trigger further retaliation, with global markets already bracing for potential oil price spikes. 📈⚡
