Israeli official vows ‘We have more surprises coming up' for Iran following wave of airstrikes
A senior Israeli intelligence official exclusively told Fox News on Saturday, "We have more surprises coming up" for Iran following the initial wave of strikes during "Operation Rising Lion."

Right now, Israel believes Iran has about 2,000 missiles. "We cannot end this operation knowing that we will be in the same spot two years from now," the official said. "Everything is going as planned. Actually, better than planned." The official added: "We have lots of surprises. Not just the ones we already did. We have more surprises coming up."

Iranian Missile Strikes IDF Headquarters in Tel Aviv Causing 'Significant Damage' as Israel Gears up for Another Round of Attacks
Israel's main military command center was struck after Iran's Islamic Republic launched a barrage of missiles at central Tel Aviv late Friday night, resulting in "significant damage" to what is considered the country's version of the Pentagon. At least three people were killed and several others were injured in the missile attacks, in what is being described as "painful revenge" for recent IDF attacks targeting key parts of Iran's nuclear infrastructure and military forces. Disturbing videos circulating on social media — and confirmed by The New York Times — captured the moment a missile hit an area containing multiple military installations, including the main command center of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Israel Under Fire The dramatic video clips showed interceptor missiles launching into the night sky just seconds before a blinding flash, a deafening blast, and the detonation of an incoming warhead. The videos suggest that at least one Iranian missile managed to break through Israel's air defense system and struck a critical command center in central Tel Aviv, as the Iron Dome faltered. "This is Israel's version of the Pentagon, the Kiryat, and the building on this compound was just hit," according to Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, who was at the scene. "There is significant damage." Yingst, who had to run for cover as a "large number" of Iranian missiles rained down earlier, reported that Iran also launched around 150 ballistic missiles aimed at both civilian neighborhoods and military facilities in the Tel Aviv area. "These ballistic missiles make the rockets that were being fired from Gaza look like toys," he added. The IDF has not officially confirmed whether its headquarters were struck, but it did release unedited footage showing Iran launching multiple waves of ballistic missiles at Israel over several hours on Friday. "The IDF cannot, and will not, allow Iran to attack our civilians," the military agency posted on X. No Stopping Israel The Israel Defense Forces warned that its offensive on Tehran could continue for up to two weeks, following a coordinated assault that killed several high-ranking Iranian military leaders and officials in their offices and homes overnight. Dubbed Operation Rising Lion, the offensive delivered a powerful series of airstrikes on Iranian military bases and nuclear sites, raising concerns that the region may be on the verge of a full-scale war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the highly coordinated operation struck a nuclear facility in Natanz and targeted elements of Iran's ballistic missile program. According to sources, the surprise offensive resulted in the deaths of at least 20 senior Iranian military officials, including the commander of the Revolutionary Guard. Six nuclear scientists were also confirmed killed in the attacks. In response, Iran launched a retaliatory missile barrage. One Israeli woman was killed in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan, according to a police spokeswoman who spoke to The New York Times. Dozens of others sustained injuries, officials added. The strikes came after talks to reach deal on curbing Iran's rapidly advancing nuclear program, heightening Israeli concerns that Tehran could be on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon. Hours later, Iran retaliated by firing hundreds of missiles at Israel in three separate waves of attacks, killing one person and injuring at least 34 others, according to officials. The Islamic Republic described the counterattack as a "declaration of war." Israeli military authorities said that search-and-rescue teams are currently operating in areas where missiles evaded defense systems and made impact.

Iran launches missile strike on Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv
Iranian ballistic missiles have hit the Kirya military headquarters of the Israeli Armed Forces, considered the Israeli equivalent of the Pentagon. Source: Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, live from Tel Aviv Details: Yingst said Iran had launched around 150 ballistic missiles on Israel during the evening. Some of them penetrated the air defence system and hit key targets, including the Kirya complex, which is a strategic military centre in central Tel Aviv, where the headquarters of the Israeli Defence Forces is located. "This is Israel's version of the Pentagon, the Kiryat. And the building on this compound was just hit," Yingst reported. "An entire block nearly completely destroyed, wiped off the map. Rescue crews were digging through the rubble… trying to pick up heat signatures of possible bodies," he said. Despite the active response of Israeli and US defence systems, such as Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow, Patriot and THAAD, some of the missiles managed to penetrate the defences. "It is not enough to stop this incoming fire," Yingst noted. "We saw missiles slamming into the ground, causing significant damage and killing at least one person," he added. "And this is just the beginning of what is a quickly developing war between Israel and Iran," Yingst reported. Background: On the night of 13-14 June, Iran launched another missile attack on Israel: explosions were heard in several cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Early reports indicated that one of the missiles had hit a high-rise building in the centre of Tel Aviv. On the evening of 13 June, Iran launched missile strikes on Israel. The Israel Defence Forces reported that Iran fired around 150 ballistic missiles. On the night of 12-13 June, Israel attacked Tehran and its outskirts and other cities across the country. Israel described its attack as preemptive and aimed at undermining Iran's nuclear programme and military sites. The strikes reportedly killed Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Gholamali Rashid, Head of the IRGC's Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces and six nuclear scientists. Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesperson for Iran's Armed Forces, warned that Tehran would respond to Israel's strikes, noting that the United States would "pay dearly" despite Washington's assurances of its non-involvement.
