A resident’s account of a direct missile strike near Tel Aviv reveals the deadly precision and psychological toll of Iran’s early attacks

As the Israel-Iran war enters its sixth night, patterns set during the early stages—particularly the ballistic missile barrage on night two—have come to define the pace and intensity of the conflict. What began as a rapid exchange of strikes has since hardened into a sustained campaign marked by civilian casualties, strategic escalation, and deepening regional instability.
That second night, between Friday and Saturday, saw one of the first major Iranian missile attacks on Israeli civilian centers. A ballistic missile struck a residential neighborhood in the Tel Aviv suburbs, killing a woman and injuring at least 20 others.
The missile made a direct hit on an apartment building, triggering a blast that shattered windows and walls hundreds of yards away. Emergency crews responded to widespread structural damage, with several buildings deemed uninhabitable.
