Videos captured by eyewitnesses and verified by The New York Times show the impact of an Iranian missile in Tel Aviv’s HaKirya district, a key military zone housing Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the central headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This missile strike is part of Iran’s retaliatory attacks following Israel’s recent offensive against Iranian nuclear and military sites.

The footage highlights the Marganit Tower within HaKirya, which serves as the nerve center for Israel’s military command, likened by a Fox News reporter to the U.S. Pentagon. Initial clips show missile interceptors launching, followed by a bright flash and explosion marking the incoming missile’s impact.

Iranian media and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed that the missile struck the Israeli Army headquarters and the Ministry of Defense located in HaKirya. The strike caused visible damage, with sirens blaring and smoke rising from the area.

Israel launched its first military strikes early on June 13, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, senior military commanders, scientists, and other critical infrastructure. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the attacks as hitting “the heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program and weapons efforts.”

In response, Iran’s air defenses repelled Israeli attacks and launched over 100 drones and ballistic missiles toward Israeli territory. While Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted many projectiles, some missiles penetrated defenses over Tel Aviv, as confirmed by videos circulating on social media showing explosions and missile trails.
