Iran's attack on Tel Aviv is unprecedented since 1948: Former Egyptian General
Strategic expert and the former head of the Egyptian Army's Moral Affairs Department, Samir Farag, stated that the bombardment Tel Aviv endured yesterday was unprecedented in Israel's history since 1948.
In televised remarks, Farag stated, 'Netanyahu slept in the shelter, and it has never happened in Israel's history that millions of people took refuge in shelters. The number of damaged buildings and towers is also unprecedented in Israel's history.'
Several of the most prestigious areas in Tel Aviv faced a direct bombardment of this magnitude for the first time since 1948, emphasizing that Iran exploited its superiority in manufacturing hypersonic missiles.
Farag asserted that Israel side misjudged Iran's military capabilities, pointing to Iran's superiority as a military power, ranking 14th globally, whereas Israel ranks 17th.
The escalating conflict between Iran and Israel continues for a third day.
Iran launched strikes with tactical guided ballistic missiles early Sunday morning, targeting central Israel, while Israel announced the completion of its attacks inside Iran.
Amidst the broader Iranian missile wave on Israel on Sunday, thousands of Israelis were forced to take shelter in underground parking garages.
The Israeli Home Front Command estimated that 40 percent of homes in Israel lack shelters that meet the required standards for this confrontation.
Earlier on Sunday, the Tel Aviv municipality announced that several buildings are at risk of collapse after being hit in the Iranian missile attack.
