ASIATODAY.ID, TEL AVIV — The conflict in the Middle East has entered a far more dangerous and explosive phase.
Iran has launched one of its largest attacks since the beginning of the war, unleashing a coordinated wave of ballistic missiles and drones across Israel, triggering widespread panic and destruction.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) described the assault as part of its ongoing military operation, directly rejecting claims by Donald Trump that Iran’s military capabilities had been significantly weakened.
According to Iranian statements, the strikes created a “belt of fire” stretching across densely populated areas, including Ramat Gan, Holon, and regions surrounding Tel Aviv.
Strategic sites, including industrial zones and energy facilities in Haifa, were reported ablaze following missile impacts and falling interception debris.
Israeli media confirmed casualties and extensive damage in multiple city. A residential building collapse was reported in Petah Tikva, while vehicles were set on fire and critical civilian infrastructure sustained heavy damage.
Inside Israel, scenes of chaos unfolded. Millions of civilians rushed toward bomb shelters as air raid sirens wailed continuously across major cities.
Severe traffic congestion paralyzed key roads, and access to shelters became increasingly strained—especially as the country approached the Jewish Passover holiday.
The pressure is not coming from Iran alone. Reports indicate simultaneous attacks involving allied groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi forces in Yemen, significantly intensifying multi-front hostilities.
The IRGC warned that much of its military capability remains undeployed, signaling the potential for even greater escalation in the coming days.
In a striking moment reflecting the gravity of the situation, live television broadcasts in Israel were abruptly interrupted as sirens forced anchors and crews to seek immediate shelter.
As the situation rapidly deteriorates, the conflict is no longer just a direct confrontation—it is evolving into a broader regional crisis with the potential to spiral into a full-scale war. (AT Network)
