Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles on Thursday, striking multiple targets across Israel, including Tel Aviv and Be’er Sheva.

The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, a cornerstone of Israel’s financial infrastructure, suffered extensive damage, as reported by local sources, marking a significant blow to the Israeli regime’s economic stability.

The strikes, which also damaged a major military site in southern Israel, underscore Iran’s resolute response to ongoing Israeli aggression. Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service reported at least 32 injuries, highlighting the devastating impact of Iran’s operation. The missile barrage has sent shockwaves through Israeli society, exposing vulnerabilities in its defense systems.

The most consequential strike occurred in central Tel Aviv, where Iranian missiles hit the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange building, reportedly causing severe structural damage. The attack sent shockwaves through the Israeli financial sector, triggering emergency suspensions of trading activity and sparking fears of long-term investor retreat.

Analysts are calling it one of the most symbolic economic blows in the history of the conflict. By targeting the heart of Israel’s financial capital, Iran has sent a clear message that its deterrent capabilities extend beyond the battlefield to strategic economic levers.

“Tel Aviv’s financial district is not invulnerable,” one Iranian analyst stated. “The occupier’s economy is deeply tied to its military machine. Striking one undermines the other.”

In addition to the economic damage, Iran’s strikes reportedly caused blast-related impact near a hospital in Be’er Sheva. While Iranian sources reaffirmed that military intelligence facilities adjacent to the hospital were the actual targets, Israeli media attempted to portray the strike as an attack on civilian infrastructure, a claim Tehran has forcefully rejected as psychological warfare.

The Israeli Magen David Adom emergency service confirmed that at least 32 individuals were injured in the strikes, which have prompted renewed panic across the occupied territories.

These latest developments mark a dramatic turning point in the ongoing confrontation between Iran and the Zionist regime, with Tehran demonstrating not only military reach but also economic and psychological superiority.

Iranian officials reiterated that the strikes were targeted, defensive, and precise, aimed at deterring future aggression and responding proportionally to recent Israeli attacks on Iranian cities and infrastructure. The IRGC’s messaging emphasized that further aggression by Tel Aviv would invite even deeper strikes into the regime’s economic and military core.

This operation underscores Iran’s growing capability to inflict strategic damage on the occupying regime without resorting to total war—a sign of both restraint and readiness.

As the dust settles in Tel Aviv, it is clear that Iran’s missile deterrent has entered a new phase, one that combines military precision with economic impact, and leaves the Zionist regime struggling to respond on multiple fronts. (ILKHA)
