Tel Aviv(TheCOWNews Digital)The recent missile attacks launched by Iran on Israel have resulted in unprecedented explosions heard across Tel Aviv, causing widespread fear among residents. Israeli journalist Gideon Levy shared his firsthand account of the terrifying blasts, describing them as the most powerful he has ever experienced in the city.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Levy revealed that he was near his home when the explosions occurred. Although he was fortunate not to witness the damage directly, he was inside a nearby public shelter and heard the blasts loud and clear. “I consider myself lucky that I didn’t see anything, but I definitely heard it,” Levy said. He emphasized the severity by noting the intensity of the blasts surpassed any previous attacks he had heard.
Levy further detailed that upon leaving the shelter, he learned from neighbors that several homes had suffered broken windows, illustrating the strength of the shockwaves. “It all happened not far from my home, though I don’t know the exact location, but the situation was very serious,” he added.
The blast caused immediate chaos in the city, with sirens from ambulances and emergency response vehicles echoing through the streets shortly after. Emergency services rushed to the affected areas, attending to the injured and managing the aftermath of the explosions.
This alarming development has intensified fears among the citizens of Tel Aviv, already on edge due to ongoing hostilities in the region. The scale of this attack signals a potential escalation in the conflict, with repercussions likely to be felt across the Middle East.
Levy concluded his statement by expressing his limited knowledge about the broader situation but reiterated the impact of the attack. “I don’t know much more about it, but this attack was truly severe and frightening,” he said.
As the situation unfolds, international observers remain concerned about the potential for further escalation and its impact on regional stability. The recent attacks have also drawn global attention to the volatile state of Israeli-Iranian relations, prompting calls for de-escalation and diplomatic intervention.
