Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles across multiple waves throughout the night, killing seven Israelis including 73-year-old Yisrael Aloni, Yevgenia Blinder, Etti Cohen Engel, and three women in Tamra near Haifa. The barrages targeted central and northern Israel, with direct hits in Ramat Gan and Rishon LeZion despite air defense interceptions. Israel responded with unprecedented strikes deep inside Iran, with Netanyahu claiming "serious damage" to nuclear facilities. The IDF declared "the path to Tehran has been paved," announcing Israeli drones now patrol the Iranian capital "24 hours a day" and that over 70 aircraft operated freely in Iranian airspace. Israeli forces eliminated senior Iranian commanders including the Revolutionary Guards intelligence chief. The exchange expanded beyond Iran as Israel simultaneously targeted the Houthi military leadership in Yemen. By evening, Iran launched a second major barrage of 100 missiles at northern Israel while Israeli jets bombed oil depots in Tehran, with Defense Minister Katz declaring "Tehran is burning."
