VIDEOS: True Promise III Devastates Occupied Tel Aviv, Zionist Media Horrified
Zionist media, referencing government officials, report "unprecedented destruction" in Tel Aviv following Iran's successful military retaliation, True Promise III, on Friday.
According to officials, the situation was unprecedented, with some stating they had “never seen anything” like it before.
Channel 13 issued a report on Friday outlining the significant damage sustained in the Greater Tel Aviv area, encompassing Tel Aviv, the adjacent city of Jaffa, and numerous surrounding municipalities.
Israeli Army Radio has reported that Iranian missile strikes have led to a substantial number of casualties among settlers. Despite the regime’s ban on disclosing casualty figures, the impact of the strikes has been described as significant.
According to a report by the Israel Hayom daily, firefighters are currently tackling several fire incidents occurring at various sites throughout the occupied territories.
“Rescue teams are currently engaged in efforts to save two individuals who are trapped, while also working to extinguish the ongoing fires,” it reported.
A reported incident occurred at the Dan Tel Aviv area, a prominent luxury hotel situated along the Tel Aviv seafront promenade.
According to reports, emergency teams are engaged in operations within a multi-story building where the strike resulted in substantial damage. Efforts are currently focused on conducting search operations to locate individuals who may be trapped.
An Israeli news outlet has reported that witnesses described the extent of the devastation as unprecedented and unlike anything previously experienced.
Israeli media sources have indicated that the “Home Front Command” has advised individuals who sought refuge during the response to remain in close proximity to their shelters if they need to leave, hinting at the potential for additional Iranian counteractions or further intensification of the situation.
In light of the evolving circumstances, the Home Front Command has issued a strict ban on photography in the affected regions, citing the potential for causing embarrassment as a primary concern.
The command issued a warning to settlers, stating that capturing images of missile impact sites provides assistance to adversaries. Observers have interpreted this move as an effort by Tel Aviv to conceal the extent of its casualties and damage.
Haaretz has reported that Iranian missiles have obliterated at least nine buildings in Ramat Gan, located in the central region of the occupied territories, with hundreds more structures suffering damage.
According to reports from Israeli media, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was said to be conducting a “situation assessment” meeting in an underground facility.
The escalation followed reports from Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) claiming to have targeted “dozens” of Israeli sites, including military installations and airbases, in a retaliatory action.
Following a televised address by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, military operations commenced with the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces initiating a response. In his speech, Khamenei condemned the Israeli regime as “despicable” and predicted it would be “rendered helpless” in the face of the counteractions.
In a statement released on Friday night, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the initiation of a counteroffensive operation named “True Promise III,” less than 24 hours following the Israeli military actions.
The conflict included a series of attacks, notably targeted assassination efforts, resulting in the death of Major General Hossein Salami, the former chief commander of the IRGC.
Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who leads the Corps’ Aerospace Division, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff for Iran’s Armed Forces, and Major General Gholam-Ali Rashid, who commands the Islamic Republic’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, were also among the casualties.
The assault also resulted in the deaths of seasoned nuclear scientists Mohammad-Mehdi Tehranchi, Fereydoun Abbasi, and Dr. Abdol-Hamid Minoucher, in addition to several other Iranian nationals, including minors.
