Iranian Missile Strikes Devastate Occupied Territories with Dozens of Zionists Killed or Missing
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – In a powerful response to the Zionist aggression, the Islamic Republic of Iran launched two major waves of missile strikes overnight, targeting multiple areas in the occupied territories.
The city of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, witnessed the heaviest losses, with local Zionist officials confirming the deaths of six settlers and injuries to over 200 others.
Zionist media acknowledged that the true death toll is expected to rise sharply. Reports indicate that a center for identifying casualties is being established in Tel Aviv due to the high number of missing settlers, reflecting the sheer magnitude of destruction caused by Iran’s strikes.
Iranian missile forces struck deep into the heart of occupied Palestine, especially Tel Aviv and Haifa, causing unprecedented devastation. The first wave involved 40 missiles, followed by a second, heavier barrage of 50 missiles that targeted Tel Aviv, Bat Yam, and Rehovot, resulting in extensive destruction.
Israeli authorities in Bat Yam admitted to heavy casualties and material damage, revealing that over 40 settlers remain missing under the rubble. The Israeli home front command described the night as one of the most difficult in recent memory, with emergency teams struggling to retrieve bodies and rescue the injured.
The Zionist army’s radio station confirmed that several neighborhoods in greater Tel Aviv were reduced to rubble. In a sign of panic, the occupying regime's cabinet has authorized police access to biometric data to aid in the identification of victims, with the number of dead and injured expected to rise.
Channel 12 of the Zionist regime also reported that new procedures are being adopted to speed up the identification of the missing. The Israel Hayom newspaper revealed that a special medical facility for casualty identification is being established in Bat Yam—an indication of the scale of death and destruction.
Analysts confirm that the difficulty in identifying the dead highlights the powerful impact of Iran’s missile capabilities. Al Jazeera’s correspondent in occupied Palestine, Mohammad Khairi, reported that the eventual death toll will be "shocking," especially considering the strict military censorship currently in effect by Israeli media. Dozens remain unaccounted for under the ruins of just the initial wave of attacks.
Hebrew-language sources close to the security cabinet estimate the possible death toll from Iran’s continued strikes could range between 800 and 4,000 Israeli casualties.
The mayor of Bat Yam disclosed that more than 20 people are still trapped under the rubble of a building struck by Iranian missiles, and 61 structures were significantly damaged—including six that collapsed completely.
Further reports from Channel 12 noted serious damage in Haifa, Tamra, and Kiryat due to Iranian missile impacts. Meanwhile, Iranian military sources reaffirmed Tehran’s full readiness to continue delivering crushing blows to the Zionist entity.
The New York Times also acknowledged that a prominent Israeli research facility suffered major damage, including a laboratory blaze caused by Iranian missiles. Zionist daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Weizmann Institute, south of Tel Aviv, sustained considerable losses.
Israeli oil company officials confirmed that the Iranian strikes caused extensive damage to the Haifa oil refinery and its pipelines. Zionist army radio echoed these reports, confirming critical damage to the refinery’s transportation infrastructure.
Despite the catastrophic losses, the Zionist regime has imposed a complete media blackout, preventing the publication of detailed casualty and damage reports. However, informed sources stress that the true scale of losses far exceeds the limited information released by the occupying regime.
