As of March 1, 2026, the conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated dramatically, with Israel reporting that it has struck over 30 targets in a new wave of attacks on western and central Iran. The Israeli Air Force confirmed that 'dozens of Air Force fighter jets' were involved in these operations, which aimed at crippling Iran's ballistic missile array and air defense systems. However, the situation intensified when a ballistic missile fired by Iranian forces struck central Tel Aviv late Saturday night, resulting in at least one civilian death and injuring more than 20 others. This attack breached Israel's air defense systems, prompting Israeli authorities to declare a nationwide state of emergency. Video footage captured the explosion's impact, showing residents and Israeli forces rushing to shelters as air raid sirens blared (Middle East Eye).
