Israel launched a new wave of “large-scale attacks” against government infrastructure in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on Saturday, March 7, 2026, according to an announcement from the Israeli military. The escalation comes amid a period of heightened regional instability and follows reports of Iranian missile launches toward Israel.
A statement from the Israeli military indicated that its forces had begun the offensive targeting governmental sites within the Iranian capital. This announcement followed a separate report that Israeli forces had detected another barrage of missiles fired from Iran aimed at Israel.
Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv after the Iranian missile fire, apparently resulting from the interception of the projectiles by Israeli defense systems. According to early reports, there was no immediate information regarding casualties.
The Israeli military subsequently released a statement advising residents that they could leave shelters “in all regions of the country.” The development underscores growing regional tensions and the potential for further escalation.
