Saed News: The launch of Iran's retaliatory operation against the criminal Zionist regime has received widespread coverage and sparked a wave of fear and panic among the Zionists. Meanwhile, global observers are expressing astonishment at the scale and intensity of Iran’s operation.
According to the political desk of Saed News, quoting Kayhan:
The operation began on the evening of Friday and continued into early Saturday. This occurred despite the U.S. having transferred the highly advanced THAAD defense system to Israel months earlier, under claims that Israel’s defense ring was now “complete and impenetrable.” However, dozens of Iranian ballistic and hypersonic missiles penetrated all layers of Israel’s multi-tiered defense and struck with precision.
TASS (Russia) reported that in response to Israel’s recent aggression, Iran launched a massive assault hitting over 150 targets, including several airbases hosting advanced aircraft such as F‑16s, F‑15s, and F‑35s.
Al‑Hadath (Saudi network) stated that about 150 missiles were fired during the third wave of Iran’s missile strike.
Yedioth Ahronoth (Hebrew) reported that Iran conducted three new waves of strikes within 15 minutes.
Some Israeli outlets claimed nearly 200 ballistic missiles were launched at Israel.
Sonia (Iraqi media) wrote that Iran’s strikes delivered a huge shock to Netanyahu—but the true shock came when, despite the surprise, Iran’s forces recovered in under 15 hours and brought the war to Israeli territories. Netanyahu had assumed Iran’s defense system had been destroyed by his strikes.
Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, said, “It was a very hard night. Because of the Iranian missile attacks, I had to go to a shelter five times during the night.” Simultaneously, Yair Lapid, opposition leader in Netanyahu’s government, described it as “a tough night for Israel.”
Israeli media reported that one missile hit a 50‑story building in Tel Aviv. Haaretz said several buildings in Tel Aviv were completely destroyed: nine were wiped out, and hundreds more seriously damaged.
A British reporter in Tel Aviv noted:
“Iranian missiles have spread fear everywhere in Israel. People were used to sirens, but these explosions were different… Someone who had their home flattened told me, ‘I am really scared now.’”
A Chinese state media reporter on-site in Tel Aviv said:
“We are at the missile strike site in Tel Aviv… The destructive power is massive. Many houses are ruined; the roof of a 4‑story building collapsed, and at least 30 people were rescued from under rubble.”
Channel 12 (Hebrew) reported:
“The size and volume of the explosive warheads in Iranian missiles are shocking.”
Fox News confirmed that Iran targeted Israel’s Ministry of War headquarters.
Al‑Arabi (Qatar) released images showing:
“An Iranian missile struck the Israeli Army Command.”
Al Mayadeen reported that the Israeli nuclear research center was targeted.
Following missile impacts in Tel Aviv, Channel 13 (Israel) said Israeli officials reported unprecedented destruction. Channel 14 stated a missile hit a strategic area south of Tel Aviv.
Israel Radio said the fifth wave of Iranian missiles targeted all parts of Israel, with explosions heard widely—from Haifa and the Golan Heights to Tiberias, Ashdod, Be’er Sheva, and the Galilee.
Maariv confirmed that a missile hit an area in Rishon Letzion near the home of a former senior security official. The mayor described the devastation as nothing he’d ever seen.
Israeli analyst Alon Mezrachi said:
“Iran can strike Israel from thousands of kilometers away without killing a single child, but Israel cannot strike a Palestinian target even at point-blank range without killing dozens of children each day.”
Israel’s army issued a statement asking media outlets to censor images of missile impacts.
Despite reports of powerful explosions in Haifa, Golan, Tiberias, Ashdod, Be’er Sheva, and the Galilee, heavy media censorship has suppressed many of the images. Tel Nof and Nevatim airbases were also heavily attacked.
An Australian TV reporter said:
“Iran promised to open the gates of hell, and last night Israel felt Iran’s anger with a hailstorm of missiles.”
Al Jazeera warned:
“Israel’s resilience will be tested if Iran’s missile attacks continue.”
Saudi Al‑Arabiya estimates Iran may launch over 2,000 missiles in its next strike.
Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Iran has warned the next barrage will be 2,000 missiles.
TRT (Turkey) described Iran as:
“Possessing the largest and most varied missile arsenal in the Middle East.”
Former Defense Minister Vahidi said:
“In the first phase, we struck the Zionists with a firm blow. Operation ‘Vadeh‑e Sadegh 3’ will continue as long as needed. The main targets were three airbases across Israel. The Israel Ministry of War and military-industrial centers were hit. Over 150 targets were struck in successive, precise waves.”
RT reported that Iran’s first missile wave flew all night toward Israel. Tehran launched four missile waves, targeting over 150 military sites, including U.S. fighter-hosting airbases.
Iranians claim they shot down Israel’s latest fifth-generation F‑35—previously deemed 'untouchable'—marking its first recorded defeat in combat.
Notably, despite extensive coverage of Iran’s missile operation, Western outlets like BBC, Radio Farda, Iran International, and Deutsche Welle censored reports and images. Al‑Jazeera nonetheless quoted shocked Israeli citizens, citing about 200 injured and at least four killed.
