FOX News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst has described the intensity of Iran’s retaliatory attack against Israel on Friday night, saying Tel Aviv was under a “massive missile barrage”.

 

“I’ve reported here for nearly seven years and never seen such an attack against an Israeli city,” he said while reporting from Tel Aviv, adding, “the amount of self-defence going off there is unprecedented.”

 

He said that "apparently", some of Tel Aviv’s central positions had been targeted. “Israel's Ministry of Defence, the HaKirya (or Kirya), their version of the Pentagon, is located just a couple of miles from here,” he added.

 

In response to Israel’s illegal military offensive Rising Lion that killed several civilians, a top general and nuclear scientists, Iran unleashed a barrage of missiles in Tel Aviv last night, inflicting significant damage.

 

On Saturday morning, Tehran launched a fresh wave of attacks against Israel, state media said.

 

Citing a senior Iranian military official, General Ahmad Vahidi, Iranian state media IRNA reported that “Operation True Promise 3”, as the retaliatory strikes are dubbed, will continue for as long as necessary.

 

The Israeli military said dozens of missiles, some of which were intercepted, had been fired in the latest salvos from Iran.

 

Appearing on CNN earlier in the day, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter said that one woman was killed and “some 40 people” were injured by the Iranian strikes.

 

“We faced three salvos of ballistic missiles fired from Iran today, about 150 in total,” he said, adding, “We expect that the Iranians, who have a considerable volume of ballistic missiles, somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2,000, will continue to fire them.”
