A RIA Novosti correspondent reported on Monday that dozens of residential buildings in Tel Aviv sustained major structural damage. Emergency crews began work at dawn, clearing debris and assisting displaced settlers, many of whom are now confronting, for the first time, the kind of destruction that "Israel" has inflicted on civilians across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen for decades.

According to the correspondent, missiles impacted at least four neighborhoods in Tel Aviv and its suburbs.

Among the hardest hit was a high-rise in central Tel Aviv, where an Iranian missile struck directly as part of Operation True Promise 3. According to Israeli media, the strike tore through multiple floors of the tower, displacing hundreds of residents.

Entire apartments were destroyed, forcing settler families into temporary shelters and hotels provided by the municipality. One resident told reporters, "We left the safe room and saw mostly smoke. Our apartment is gone. We went down to the basement, now we're refugees."

The Iranian missile retaliation follows Tel Aviv's illegal and unprovoked attack that began early Friday, when Israeli warplanes and sabotage units launched a full-scale assault on Iranian territory. The operation, planned for months with overt US backing, included coordinated strikes on over 250 sites, among them nuclear research centers, air bases, IRGC facilities, civilian infrastructure, and even hospitals.

As a result of Israeli aggression, an estimated 220 people have been killed and more than 1,800 injured, according to Iran's Ministry of Health. In response, Iran's retaliatory strikes, previously unimaginable in the heart of Israeli cities, have reportedly left 24 dead and over 600 wounded, according to Israeli media.

While Tel Aviv residents now experience temporary displacement in furnished hotels with emergency services on standby, the scenes of crying children, families clutching pets, and entire households reduced to rubble mirror daily life for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

The irony, as observers noted, is stark: a regime that has long operated with impunity is now confronting the consequences of its own doctrine of domination. As one Tel Aviv resident bitterly remarked, "The state has decided to commit suicide… What happened here was inevitable."
