Izvestia showed a residential area of Tel Aviv affected by the Iranian strike

The new target of Iran's strike was the central residential area of Israeli Tel Aviv, where residential and office buildings are concentrated. The footage from the scene was transmitted on June 19 by a correspondent of Izvestia.

"This is one of Israel's main business districts. And today, people were supposed to return to work in the offices after Israel allowed the opening of places of work," said journalist Nikita Kulyukhin.

The consequences of the Iranian attack could have been more serious and ended in thousands of deaths if there were already people in the skyscrapers. However, they had not yet arrived at the offices by the time of the attack, as it was early in the morning.

On June 17, the Iranian Fars news agency reported that Iran's missile strikes had completely destabilized the situation in Tel Aviv - most citizens spend a significant part of the day in shelters, and air traffic to the city has been completely cut off. Israeli sources report damage to critical infrastructure facilities — an oil refinery and a power plant, resulting in fuel outages and power outages in a number of areas.

Israel struck Iran on June 13 and declared a state of emergency. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the purpose of the military operation is to strike at Iran's nuclear infrastructure. In response, Iran launched several waves of missile attacks.
