While the 11th day of tensions between Israel and Iran saw both countries fire missiles at each other on Monday, international pressure for de-escalation intensified. New Iranian aerial attacks propelled sirens throughout northern Israel, while social media brought dramatic videos of the conflict happening in real time.
Dashcam Video Captures Missile Strike
A dashcam video that was posted online caught the very moment an Iranian missile hit the Israeli city of Ashdod. The video records a brief explosion on the side of a road, with rocks and pieces of debris flying into the air. Moments later, dust covers the windshield of a passing car to its left as the driver speeds away from the point of explosion.

The missile is said to have struck one of the power stations in Ashdod, significantly impairing its functioning capacity. There were no immediate injury reports from this specific strike, although there were other effects throughout the country, The Times of Israel reported.
Iran fired several waves of missiles within almost 40 minutes, one of the longest barrages of the ongoing war. There were also loud explosions heard in Jerusalem, though Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency medical service, reported there were no instantaneous casualties.
The continued exchanges of missiles follow Tehran’s threat of mounting repercussions after the U.S. attacked Iranian nuclear facilities. Iranian military forces spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari on state TV denounced what he termed a U.S. ‘hostile act’, claiming it would ‘open the way for the continuation of war in the region’.
“The warriors of Islam will bring severe, unforeseen consequences upon you with strong and precise (military) attacks,” he stated.
Israeli Response Aims at Iran’s Military Base
In response, the Israeli military conducted airstrikes against missile bases in western Iran and hit six Iranian regime airports, according to reports. The operations destroyed fighter jets and helicopters, Israeli defense sources said.
Casualty reports of the mounting conflict keep rising. Iran’s health ministry said over 400 individuals have lost their lives as a result of Israeli attacks. Iranian attacks on Israel, on the other hand, are said to have claimed 24 lives.
As both sides intensify offensives, concerns of an wider regional war are growing with the international community calling for restraint as the hostilities intensify.
