Tehran(The COW News Digital)Tehran has launched a new series of missile strikes targeting Israel, causing multiple injuries, property damage, and heightened fears across major cities including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. According to initial reports, at least seven Israelis were injured, numerous vehicles were destroyed, and several buildings suffered severe damage.
Israeli media reported that a missile impact in western Jerusalem sparked fires and widespread panic, prompting residents to seek shelter. Sirens sounded across Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and parts of the West Bank, as citizens were directed to bomb shelters.
The escalation comes amid rising tensions in the region following recent U.S. and Israeli military operations. Jordan strongly condemned the attacks and summoned the Iranian ambassador to express deep concern over the deteriorating security situation.

Iranian state media claimed that the attacks have resulted in casualties among U.S. troops, reporting that 560 American soldiers have been killed or wounded. Additionally, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that they targeted the U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln with four missiles and struck three American and British oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, causing them to catch fire. These claims have not been independently verified by international agencies.
In response, Israel has reportedly initiated a new wave of strikes on Iranian targets, with intense bombing reported in Tehran. Witnesses described loud explosions and smoke filling the sky, while anti-aircraft guns lit up the night sky.
The Israeli government has extended the national emergency until March 12 and placed security forces on high alert, emphasizing the severity of the current security situation.
Analysts warn that the ongoing exchange of missile strikes between Iran and Israel, coupled with attacks on U.S. and allied assets in the Gulf region, could further destabilize the Middle East. The international community is closely monitoring developments, particularly given the potential implications for global energy supplies and regional security.
As tensions rise, residents in affected areas remain on edge, with emergency protocols and air raid drills being enforced. The situation continues to evolve rapidly, with officials from both nations issuing statements but refraining from full disclosure of military operations.
