June 15, 2025 – Tel Aviv, Israel
Loud explosions were reportedly heard across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem late Saturday night, as tensions in the Middle East continue to spiral. Witnesses described the blasts as “powerful” and “shaking buildings,” though official confirmation of casualties or the source of the strikes is still pending.
The Israeli military has not released a detailed statement, but emergency services were seen scrambling across major cities in response to what is widely believed to be a retaliatory missile barrage, potentially linked to ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran.
Local media outlets, citing unnamed defense officials, have suggested that air defense systems, including the Iron Dome, were activated in response to incoming threats, with several interceptions reported in the skies above central Israel.
Jerusalem resident Miriam Kohen told reporters:
These developments come just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a “decisive response” to Iranian attacks and alleged plots to undermine Israel’s national security.
As of now, there has been no official claim of responsibility for the latest explosions.
The United Nations and several world powers have renewed calls for restraint, urging both sides to avoid a full-scale regional war that could have devastating humanitarian and economic consequences.
This is a developing story. Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
