Iran Strikes Tel Aviv in Early Morning Barrage — 5 Injured, Herzliya Hit
20 missiles reach Israeli cities as Iran's launch rate falls 80% from Day 1
Iran's morning barrage on Day 7 tells two stories simultaneously: Iran can still reach Tel Aviv, but barely. Twenty ballistic missiles were fired in the early morning salvo — down from 90 on the first day of the war. Five Israelis were lightly injured, and an 8-story residential building in Herzliya was struck. Bat Yam and Tamra residential neighbourhoods also reported impacts. Israeli police confirmed the injuries across the Dan district. The IDF estimates 300+ of Iran's 500 ballistic missile launchers have been destroyed — 60% of the total stockpile. CENTCOM Adm. Cooper reported a 90% reduction in Iranian attack capacity since Day 1. Even as Iran's capability degrades, the IRGC continues to fire daily salvos, demonstrating remaining will and dispersed mobile launcher units.
