Iranian missile strikes Tel Aviv — air defense fails to intercept; 4 lightly wounded, buildings damaged

An Iranian ballistic missile struck a street in central Tel Aviv during the Day 25 missile campaign, causing the first confirmed casualties of the day. Magen David Adom reported six people lightly wounded across four sites in the city. Home Front Command Col. Miki David, speaking at the scene, said the Iranian warhead 'badly damaged' three nearby buildings — though he confirmed only three light injuries at the primary impact site, where most residents had taken cover in a bomb shelter. Security officials confirmed the munition carried approximately 100 kilograms of explosives. Col. David assessed that the projectile did not split off from a cluster munition, indicating it was a conventional (non-cluster) unitary warhead — though he noted it appeared smaller than Iran's standard non-cluster warheads previously used. Multiple vehicles were damaged and fires broke out at the impact site. A fragment from the same missile barrage fell near a Palestinian village in the West Bank (Shomron area), with no injuries reported there. The 100kg payload is consistent with Iran's shorter-range systems (e.g., Fath-360 at ~150kg, degraded delivery) rather than the Zolfaghar/Haj Qasem class. The strike occurred during Trump's five-day power plant pause on Day 1 of 5.
