Iran Fires Khorramshahr-4 Ballistic Missiles Toward Tel Aviv — Explosions Reported Near Ben Gurion Airport
In a dramatic midnight barrage, Iran has announced the launch of its new Khorramshahr‑4 ballistic missiles, boasting one‑ton warheads aimed “deep into the Zionist regime’s heart.” Air‑raid sirens wailed across central Israel as residents reported “unending thunder” overhead and bright streaks cutting across the sky toward Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion International Airport.
Israel’s air defense network roared to life, with Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow batteries firing interceptors in rapid succession. Military spokespeople insist that “the vast majority” of incoming missiles were shot down, yet live footage from the airport perimeter shows plumes of fire and thick black smoke rising near runways, fueling fears of a direct hit on the country’s main international gateway.
