Direct hit - Footage shows moment of impact as missile strikes Israel's Petah Tikva

"Footage captured on Thursday shows a missile striking near a residential neighbourhood in Petah Tikva as sirens sounded across the city. According to Israeli media, a missile carrying a 400-kg warhead landed in an open area, causing material damage. No casualties have been reported at the time of publication. Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) did not confirm a strike on Petah Tikva but said that it had targeted locations in the air bases in Tel Nof, Palmachim, and Ben-Gurion', and 'military assembly centres' in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Eilat, the Negev and Beersheba as part of the 90th missile wave of Operation True Promise 4. Tensions have risen across the Middle East since the US and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran on February 28, while diplomatic talks aimed at 'limiting Iran's nuclear and missile programs' were ongoing. Iran struck back with attacks on Israeli and US targets in the region, and there were reports of explosions in several Gulf countries. Iran later confirmed that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had been killed, and his son Mojtaba Khamenei was named as his successor. The conflict spread to Lebanon when Hezbollah got involved 'in revenge' for the killing of Iran's supreme leader."
