As the war in West Asia enters a seventh day, the latest Iranian missile barrage sparked a wave of explosions across Tel Aviv. Firefighters worked to contain a blaze at a residential building near Israel’s commercial hub on Friday (March 6, 2026).
The blasts came after Israel expanded its campaign against Hezbollah, vowing retribution against the Tehran-backed militant group for joining the conflict following the killing on Saturday (February 28, 2026) of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
