The sky over Israel didn’t sleep. Sirens screamed through Tel Aviv and Haifa before dawn, and by the time the sun rose, the damage was already done. Iran launched a fresh wave of missiles overnight, targeting key infrastructure and military assets. This wasn’t a warning shot. It was a message.
Haifa’s power plant took a direct hit. Flames lit up the port skyline. Emergency crews scrambled to contain the fire while the grid flickered under the weight of the strike. The plant, a critical node in Israel’s northern energy supply, now sits scorched and unstable. The footage shows black smoke curling into the sky, but the real damage is buried in the systems that keep the lights on.

Tel Aviv didn’t escape. Multiple impacts shook the city. One missile struck near the U.S. Embassy branch. Israeli military censorship has locked down the details, but the shockwave cracked windows and rattled the compound. Ambassador Mike Huckabee confirmed minor damage but no injuries. That’s the official line. The real target, still classified, sits somewhere behind the silence.
Iran claims it launched over 100 missiles. Israel’s Iron Dome intercepted many, but not all. The ones that got through left scars. Residential buildings in Petah Tikva were shredded. At least five civilians are dead. Dozens more are wounded. The Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom reported 87 people hospitalized, including a four-day-old infant pulled from rubble.
This is the fourth day of open warfare. Israel has already struck deep into Tehran, hitting Quds Force command centers and military installations. Iran’s response is escalating. The Revolutionary Guard isn’t bluffing. They’re aiming for vital targets. And they’re hitting them.
The U.S. Embassy wasn’t collateral. It was a warning. The missile didn’t land on the building, but it landed close enough to shake the walls. That’s not an accident. That’s a signal. The embassy remains closed. American personnel are sheltering in place. The message is clear. No one is off limits.
Israel’s military has responded with more airstrikes. Ten command centers in Tehran were hit overnight. The IDF says these were Quds Force hubs used to coordinate attacks against Israel. The war is no longer shadowed. It’s out in the open. And it’s accelerating.
Iranian officials say they will continue launching missiles until Israel stops its operations. But Israel isn’t stopping. The stakes are no longer about deterrence. They’re about survival. And both sides know it.
This isn’t a regional flare-up. It’s a controlled burn with no brakes. The power plant in Haifa is just the beginning. The embassy damage is just the edge. The real story is what’s not being shown. The censored targets. The classified hits. The quiet evacuations.
The war is moving fast. The truth is moving slower.
