In a dramatic turn of events, video footage has captured the scene following a ballistic missile attack in Ramat Gan, an area just east of Tel Aviv. This strike, occurring overnight on Tuesday, resulted in the deaths of at least two individuals, as confirmed by Israeli authorities.
The video reveals a vehicle consumed by flames amidst debris strewn across the street. Emergency personnel are visible at the site, working amidst the sound of ambulance sirens echoing in the background.
The missile, launched by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, was reportedly aimed at central Israel. This act was proclaimed as retaliation for the assassination of Ali Larijani, the influential secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
The Revolutionary Guard stated that they employed Khorramshahr-4 and Qadr missiles, boasting advanced capabilities designed to bypass missile defenses and evade radar detection.

Israel said the two victims killed in the overnight strike were a couple in their 70s.
The attack is part of a rapidly escalating tit-for-tat conflict that began Feb. 28 following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, which have since killed multiple senior Iranian officials. Those include Larijani and Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani, head of the Revolutionary Guard’s Basij militia, who was killed Tuesday.

Iran has responded with a widening campaign of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, U.S.-linked positions and energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf, including strikes reported in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain.
The broader conflict has raised fears of a regional war and potential disruptions to global energy supplies, as Iran has also threatened shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a critical transit route for the world’s oil.Â
