Tel Aviv: Amidst the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, dramatic footage surfaced on social media capturing the moment an Iranian missile struck near the settlement of Elkana in Israel's West Bank. In the viral video, a massive explosion with a powerful sound could be heard, with a thick plume of smoke emanating from the site, can be seen with fearful locals shouting in panic.

Meanwhile, the conflict between Iran and Israel has escalated to new heights, with both countries engaging in a series of attacks. According to reports, Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel, resulting in injuries and damage. Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) has maintained aerial superiority in Iranian airspace, striking several military targets.

On Friday, the ballistic missile strikes by Iran in Haifa have resulted in 17 reported injuries, according to medics. Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency medical service, treated a total of 17 people, including a man in his 40s and a 16-year-old boy in serious condition, who were hit by shrapnel. Another 14 people were lightly hurt and taken to a hospital.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimated that some 25 ballistic missiles were launched from Iran at Israel in the latest attack. The forces confirmed that one missile impact in Haifa wounded several people, including a teenager in serious condition, while other impacts were reported in southern and central Israel.

The IDF stated that the IAF continues to maintain aerial superiority in Iranian airspace. Israeli Fighter jets struck several Iranian missile systems and radar installations in the areas of Isfahan and Tehran, which were intended to target IDF aircraft and disrupt their operations. The IDF said, "The IAF continues its mission to maintain aerial superiority in Iranian airspace."
