Onlookers gathered on Saturday at a central Tel Aviv residential building next door to Israel’s defense headquarters that was damaged after it took a hit from what appeared to be shrapnel from an overnight missile barrage from Iran.

Amidst a barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles, a Canadian diplomat in Tel Aviv was rescued after her building was hit, confirmed Foreign Minister Anita Anand. This escalation follows Israel's 'Operation Rising Lion' air raid targeting Iranian nuclear facilities,

Israeli citizens were ordered to head to bomb shelters on Friday night amid retaliatory missile strikes from Iran.

Residents of Tel Aviv woke up to scenes of destruction after Iran launched a barrage of missiles on Saturday, June 14. Several apartment buildings and residential streets were damaged in the strikes.

Iran retaliated by launching waves of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions lit the night skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians, already rattled by 20 months of war sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, to head to shelter for hours.

Iran's top diplomat said Saturday that talks with the United States were "unjustifiable" after Israeli strikes on his country.

Smoke and flames filled the sky over Tehran as Israel struck oil and gas facilities in the Iranian capital and targeted more nuclear facilities during attacks that carried on into Sunday after starting two days earlier.
