Tel Aviv [Israel], March 24 (ANI): Six people were lightly injured after an Iranian missile struck Tel Aviv, The Times of Israel reported on Tuesday. Channel 12, citing police, said a munition carrying about 100 kilograms of explosives impacted central Tel Aviv, causing damage to multiple buildings and vehicles.
Missile fragments also landed in Rosh Ha’ayin, east of Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, Press TV reported that Imam Ali Hospital in the city of Andimeshk has been evacuated and is no longer operational following direct attacks by the United States and Israel.
As tensions continue to rise in West Asia and the Gulf region, Al Jazeera Breaking reported that an Israeli strike hit a petrol station in southern Lebanon, triggering a large explosion and fire. The report added that the Israeli army had issued displacement orders to residents.
Earlier on Tuesday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the 78th wave of its retaliatory campaign, “Operation True Promise 4,” targeting Israeli sites and several United States military bases in the region, according to Press TV.
In a statement, the IRGC said the latest phase of the operation involved missile and drone strikes against “highly sensitive” Israeli targets, including Dimona, Tel Aviv, and Eilat, as well as several US military bases across the region.
The IRGC said the latest phase “has set a distinct record in the timeline of the war.”
According to Press TV, the corps described the new phase as a significant escalation, stating that missiles were launched while millions of people in Iran held large rallies expressing support for the government.
In Kuwait early Tuesday, seven overhead power transmission lines went out of service in several areas due to damage caused by falling shrapnel from air defense interception operations, according to Anadolu News Agency.
The outages led to partial power disruptions in some regions, the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said in a statement on X, citing spokeswoman Fatima Abbas Jawhar Hayat.
Amid these developments, a report by Human Rights Watch on Tuesday stated that Iranian forces appeared to have deliberately targeted at least two civilian commercial ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz earlier this month on March 11, actions that could amount to war crimes.
The security situation continues to evolve in West Asia and the Gulf following US-Israel military operations, codenamed Epic Fury and Roaring Lion, against Iran. The strikes resulted in the deaths of key Iranian leaders and have since been followed by attacks on military assets and energy infrastructure.
With the conflict now in its fourth week, its impact is being felt across the region and globally, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, where rising tensions have intensified concerns over global energy security, supply disruptions, and damaged infrastructure. (ANI)
