Iranian Missile Falls Near Microsoft Office in Israel
Taarek Refaat
Israeli media reported that an Iranian missile fell in the city of Be'er Sheva, injuring 18 people, according to initial reports.
The footage showed a Microsoft building, reflecting Tehran's repeated statements about targeting scientific and intelligence centers and headquarters affiliated with or working for the Israeli military.
Videos circulated on social media showing fires in the areas where the rockets landed, including Beersheba, Nevatim, and Rahat, in addition to the burning of several cars parked in the area.
An Israeli military spokesperson stated: "The IDF identified missile launches from Iran toward Israel a short while ago, and defense systems are working to intercept the threat. Citizens should head to protected areas and remain there until further notice."
After assessing the situation, the Israeli Home Front Command announced that it was permissible to leave protected areas, noting that search and rescue units were operating at the site of the missile strike, stressing the need for the public to continue following security instructions.
In this context, the Israeli military announced, in the early hours of Friday morning, that it had intercepted three Iranian drones en route to Israeli territory, amid escalating military tensions between the two sides.
In contrast, former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Mohsen Rezaei confirmed that Iran has so far launched more than 400 missiles and 600 drones toward Israel as part of ongoing military operations.
Rezaei added, in statements reported by Iranian media, that his country has used less than 30% of its actual military capabilities, while the potential use rate is only about 5%.
Rezaei revealed the existence of new missile capabilities that will be announced soon, noting that naval and land capabilities have not yet been used in the confrontation. He explained that what has been achieved so far reflects a limited portion of Iran's military power, which could pave the way for further escalation if the clashes continue.

Israel Receives Joint US-German Military Shipment
Israa Farhan Israel's Ministry of Defense has confirmed the arrival of new military cargo planes carrying defensive equipment from the United States and Germany, as part of ongoing support for the Israeli military during Operation Rising Lion. According to an official statement released on Friday and reported by The Jerusalem Post, 14 military transport aircraft have landed in Israel since the operation against Iran began last week. This is in addition to over 800 cargo flights that have arrived in the country since the war with Hamas erupted following the 7 October 2023 attacks. The latest shipment includes advanced equipment designed to strengthen Israel's defense systems. The Ministry stated that the delivery aims to ensure the continuity of military operations and to fully support the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in meeting strategic goals, whether in confronting Iranian threats or improving operational readiness and supply lines. These shipments are expected to continue in the coming weeks and are part of a broader international coordination effort involving the Directorate of Defense Procurement, Israeli procurement missions in the US and Germany, the IDF Planning and Force Build-Up Directorate, the Israeli Air Force, and other military bodies. In response, Iran has accused the US of direct complicity in what it describes as Israeli aggression against its territory. In a statement released by the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Tehran condemned Washington's ongoing supply of military equipment to Israel, calling it open collusion in the attacks. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
