After Iran struck Israel with barrages of missiles on June 14 in retaliation for a massive onslaught against its nuclear and military facilities that killed top generals and nuclear scientists, AI-generated videos were falsely shared in posts claiming they showed how Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion International Airport had been damaged.

Iran announced it had launched some 100 missiles and vowed further retaliation for sweeping attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure.

Onlookers gathered on Saturday at a central Tel Aviv residential building next door to Israel’s defense headquarters that was damaged after it took a hit from what appeared to be shrapnel from an overnight missile barrage from Iran.

"Another barrage of dozens of rockets was launched" towards Israel, the statement adds. The IDF says that the explosions people are hearing "originate from interceptions or impacts". We've been hearing from Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei who says Iran “will inflict heavy blows” after Israel “launched war”.

Israel's military said on Tuesday it had killed Ali Shadmani, who it identified as Iran's armed forces' chief of staff and said was the most senior military commander. (Reporting by Jana Choukeir; Editing by Alex Richardson) Copyright 2025 Thomson Reuters.
