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.

Fox Reporters in Tel Aviv Capture Missile Strikes Live: 'Everyone Move Now'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A barrage of ballistic missiles on Israel forced a television reporter to take cover as he shouted for his colleagues to urgently move to safety. Fox News reporter Trey Yingst was standing on a balcony as short-range missiles behind him appeared to come closer before being intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system. The footage of the incident preceded a night in which Israel and Iran traded fire, with explosions heard in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Tehran. Andrew Borene, the executive director for global security at the threat intelligence firm Flashpoint, told Newsweek that escalation was likely. An emergency worker carrying a rescued dog named Tes from a building damaged in an overnight strike in Ramat Gan, Israel, on June 14. An emergency worker carrying a rescued dog named Tes from a building damaged in an overnight strike in Ramat Gan, Israel, on June It Matters The Fox News footage of Israel's air defenses showed the extent of Iran's retaliation to Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities and military bases in the Islamic republic on Friday. Israel's attack killed senior commanders and scientist. The air strike exchange between the countries has raised the alarm over how the conflict may escalate. What To Know While reporting on a balcony, Yingst said Tel Aviv was facing a "massive amount of fire." The blasts behind him could be seen getting closer as Israel's Iron Dome targeted the missiles, but the Fox News reporter raised concerns that some were not being intercepted. Yingst shouted instructions to his production team to prepare for a hasty exit. "Right, let's go, time to go," he said, adding, "Everyone move now." When reporting from indoors later, Yingst said he had not seen such an attack on an Israeli city in the seven years he had reported from the Middle East. Overnight Friday, ballistic missiles hit parts of Israel as alerts sounded for the public to take shelter in the strikes, which Israeli emergency services said killed at least two people and injured dozens. 🚨#BREAKING: Watch as a fox reporters take cover as dozens of ballistic missiles hit downtown Tel Aviv as a massive attack is underway 📌#TelAviv | #Israel A massive wave of ballistic missiles is striking Tel Aviv, Israel, forcing FOX News reporters to evacuate live on air… — R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) June 13, 2025 Iran's attack followed Israel's strike on sites in Iran. The Israeli military said its air force had hit "dozens" of targets in Tehran overnight, including surface-to-air missile infrastructure. Iran's representative to the United Nations said 78 people were killed in Israeli strikes and at least 320 injured, most of whom were civilians. Borene, a former senior staff officer at the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said hostilities would get more intense and that Iran's response could include regional ballistic missiles and drones attacks, cyberattacks, or "most concerning, expanding active terrorism worldwide." He said it was highly unlikely that any other regional players would enter the fray, with Iran's closest allies being not states but proxies—such as Hezbollah, the Houthis and Hamas. What People Are Saying Fox News reporter Trey Yingst said during a live report: "There's a massive amount of fire coming to Tel Aviv right now. … Guys, come on, everyone move." Andrew Borene, the executive director for global security at Flashpoint, told Newsweek: "There's no clear calculus for what happens next—'If Israel does X, Iran will do Y.' … What's most likely now is further escalation, both on the ground and in the darkest corners of the web, before any calm." What Happens Next The Israel Defense Forces said the country's air force would resume striking targets in Iran. IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir and Israeli Air Force Chief Major General Tomer Bar said in a joint statement on Saturday, "The way to Iran has been paved." Borene said the attacks marked the opening of yet another rapidly expanding flash point within the global context of a new hybrid cold war.

Fox News Reporter Runs as Missiles Disrupt Israel Broadcast
A Fox News reporter had to cut his live broadcast from Tel Aviv short as Iranian missiles rained down around him. Trey Yingst was reporting from Israel's second-largest city Friday when Iran's counterattack arrived after Israel launched a preemptive strike against the country the day before. Yingst watched from a balcony on Friday as Israel's Iron Dome weapons defense system intercepted a majority of the attacks. 'I can see interceptors coming off from all directions,' he told his audience. 'We don't know exactly how many missiles have been fired by the Iranians.' He added, 'Just stay with us. We are going to be calculated here, and we are good here,' with the camera panning to the sky above. The missiles resulted in small explosions as they were deflected. Yingst decided to book it when the explosions seemed to be hitting too close for comfort. 'Guys, c'mon, everyone move!' he told his crew as they took cover in a viral clip. The attack came moments after Israel sent a nationwide warning that 'dozens of Iranian ballistic missiles' were imminent. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned Israel in a Friday TV appearance that the country should not 'think they have attacked and it's over,' the New York Times reported. He added, 'Life will be dark for them. They started it, they started a war. We will not allow them to escape this big crime unharmed. Iran's armed forces will definitely be striking hard.' Adding to the rhetoric, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Friday that the Israel Defense Forces have launched 'Operation Rising Lion,' CBS reported. 'I can confirm that the senior security leadership of the Iranian regime has been eliminated in the strike: the Iranian Chief of Staff, [Mohammad] Bagheri; the Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, [Hossein] Salami; and the Head of the Emergency Command, [Gholamali] Rashid,' Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said. However, President Donald Trump seemed to have hope that the emerging conflict could be brought to a peaceful close. 'There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end,' Trump said in a Friday Truth Social post. 'Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left.'

Fox News' Trey Yingst Seeks Cover From Tel Aviv Missile Barrage During Live Broadcast: 'Time to Go'
Fox News' chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst was forced to seek cover while live on the air in Tel Aviv on Friday while discussing the missile impact of Iran's retaliation after a war with Israel broke out. 'OK, there's just a massive amount of fire coming to Tel Aviv right now. Yaniv, get ready to pull it off the sticks. Get off the sticks. All right, let's go. Time to go,' Yingst suddenly told his crew as he was on the air with Fox News anchors Sandra Smith and John Roberts. 'OK, guys, come on. Everyone, move. Everyone, move now. Stay with us. Stay with us. Pick up the gear. Let's go,' Yingst continued as he and his camera crew drew back for safety while on a hotel balcony. The Fox News reporter was broadcasting amid a barrage of missile fire that rained down on Tel Aviv on Friday night, just as Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system attempted to intercept incoming fire.

We just saw one of the missiles. OK, and there's an interception right over Tel Aviv. Pull out here, Yaniv, and you're going to see the trail. Just listen here. OK, this is some short range systems,' Yingst continued as the Iranian missile barrage intensified amid sirens, smoke rising and missile trails lighting up the nighttime sky. Fox News' Roberts interrupted to remark the missile fire over Tel Aviv was unprecedented, and Yingst agreed. 'Yes, John, Sandra, you saw those live images. Israel is under a massive ballistic missile barrage. I have reported here for nearly seven years and never seen such an attack against an Israeli city. The amount of air defense that you saw going off there is — it's unprecedented. It appears that they are targeting some of the centrally located positions in Tel Aviv,' Yingst reported. The missile fire from Iran follows Israel's military attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and other targets the previous evening.
