ALBAWABA - A man in Israel was directly hit with a missile while recording the Iranian attack against Tel Aviv on Saturday night.

The footage went viral online showing an Israeli man in the middle of the street recording the Iranian missiles in the country's airspace when suddenly one of the missiles fell next to him leading to his injury.

The video was widely posted on X with many saying the footage is terrifying and horrible. 

Israel said that Iran launched over 300 drones and missiles towards Israel, injuring at least 12 people, an Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a televised speech on Sunday.

He reported: "Last night Iran fired over 300 ballistic missiles, UAVs and cruise missiles towards Israel."

Meanwhile, the Iranian army announced Sunday that its drone and missile attack on Israel has "achieved all its objectives". The Iranian operation came in retaliation for a deadly strike on Iran's Damascus consulate during which seven IRGC members were killed.

"Operation Honest Promise... was completed successfully from last night to this morning and achieved all its objectives," Mohammad Bagheri, the Iranian armed forces chief of staff stated.
