Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at Israel as Live Coverage Shows Intercepts Over Tel Aviv
Competing official claims over deaths of top Iranian leaders create deep uncertainty about the day’s toll.
Overview
- Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported live from Tel Aviv as Israel’s missile-defense systems intercepted multiple incoming missiles in what he called the largest barrage toward central Israel since the war began.
- Air-raid sirens sounded across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as millions sheltered, with Yingst and his crew retreating indoors after blasts he described as the heaviest to hit the city during the current exchange.
- Yingst said he saw eight or nine interceptors launch and reported that some rockets bypassed defenses and struck parts of Tel Aviv, with car alarms and powerful explosions audible on-air.
- A senior Israeli official told Fox News that Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian were targeted, as President Trump said he believed most of Iran’s senior leadership is gone and Prime Minister Netanyahu urged Iranians to topple the regime.
- Iran’s foreign minister told NBC News that all top leaders are alive, while reports that more than 40 senior Iranian officials were killed remain unconfirmed and developing.
