Status Update: February 28, 2026 (11:20 AM)

Occupation Army Radio (Israel) and the IDF have officially confirmed a massive retaliatory missile launch from Iran toward Tel Aviv and Central Israel.

Current Situation in Israel:

• Air Raid Sirens: Red Alert sirens are currently active across Tel Aviv, the Gush Dan region, and southern cities.

• Shelter Orders: The Home Front Command has ordered all residents to remain in bomb shelters until further notice.

• Intercepts: Multiple interceptions by the Arrow and David’s Sling systems have been reported over central Israel.

• State of Emergency: A nationwide 48-hour state of emergency is in effect. All passenger flights at Ben Gurion Airport remain suspended.

Regional Escalation Summary:

This Iranian wave follows the joint US-Israeli "pre-emptive" strikes launched earlier this morning against Tehran and other Iranian military sites.

• Bahrain: Confirmed hits at the US Naval Base and 5th Fleet HQ.

• Qatar: Reports of interceptions near Al Udeid Air Base; personnel are currently in "shelter-in-place" status.

• Jordan: Air raid sirens have been heard as missiles transit the airspace toward Israel.

Ongoing:** The IDF expects this wave to involve dozens of ballistic missiles. Impacts or specific damage reports in Tel Aviv have not yet been confirmed by emergency services (MDA).

An Israeli settlement and military camp south of Hebron were hit by Iranian missiles.

News agencies (including Reuters and British Reuters), citing field sources, reported that Iranian ballistic missiles targeted Al Dhafra Air Base in Abu Dhabi, which houses US and Emirati forces.
