TEL AVIV, ISRAEL<\/strong> – First responders fanned out across Israel Sunday following fresh waves of Iranian missile strikes that left pockets of devastation in their wake – as the Islamic republic hit back after a US attack on its nuclear sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In both Haifa and areas around Tel Aviv, the scenes were all too similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rubble filled streets at impact sites as the facades of apartment buildings were eviscerated by the falling projectiles, as rescue teams picked through the debris looking for people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Ramat Aviv neighbourhood near Tel Aviv, the mere skeletons of homes were left standing following the barrage, with the wooden frames visible amid a sea of debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the country was jolted awake by air raid sirens warning residents of air attacks, many in Ramat Aviv left their shelters later to discover the destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man and woman embraced each other and cried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our entire house was destroyed — there’s nothing left,” said Aviad Chernichovsky, who had rushed out of his home to get to a shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several elderly residents were placed on chairs and beds to allow for medical evacuation. One woman, injured in the face, appeared anxious as paramedics led her away from the rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials were still taking stock of the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Houses here were hit very, very badly,” Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai said at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Those who were in the shelter are all safe and well. The damage is very, very extensive, but in terms of human life, we are okay.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devastating power <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Israeli police said in a statement that they had been deployed to at least two other impact sites, one in Haifa in the north and another in Ness Ziona, south of Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A public square in a residential area of Haifa was left strewn with rubble and surrounding shops and homes were heavily damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palm trees withstood the impact in a small public garden, while storefronts were bent, shop windows shattered, and air conditioners left dangling from building facades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sirens however did not sound in this area. Authorities said they were actively working to clarify what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The possibility of a malfunction with the interceptor (of the air defence system) is under investigation,” said an army spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two salvos of missiles were launched at Israel from around 7:30 am (0430 GMT), the Israeli military said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran has been firing daily missile barrages at Israel for over a week, since a wide-ranging Israeli attack on the Islamic republic’s nuclear installations and military bases triggered war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel’s sophisticated air defences have intercepted more than 450 missiles along with around 1,000 drones, according to the latest figures from the Israeli military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even still, at least 50 impacts have been officially acknowledged nation-wide with the country’s air defence batteries unable to prevent all of the strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran’s armed forces said Sunday’s barrage targeted multiple sites in Israel including Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, and relied on some of their most sophisticated long-range missiles with “devastating warhead power”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
