Iran has launched another massive barrage of missile and drone attacks against U.S. military installations in the Middle East and Israeli territory on Saturday afternoon. The latest barrage started just minutes after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, was confirmed dead after a series of strikes on his central Tehran compound.
Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst was forced to quickly evacuate his location from a high-rise building in Tel-Aviv when a massive attack got underway. While on the air, he was told by his security team that his location was no longer safe and that he would need to evacuate.
At least one sizable explosion was heard while Israeli Iron Dome missile defense batteries could be seen firing in the background as he evacuated.
The exact number of missiles launched, and what percentage of them were intercepted, are unknown as of this report. A number of Shahed class kamikaze drones were also launched in the latest barrage.
Impacts in Israel have been confirmed, though exact numbers and casualty counts have not been provided. As of 4 p.m. Eastern Time, Yingst reported that a significant amount of damage was observed in Tel Aviv, while rescue efforts were underway.

Iranian forces also appear to have launched another barrage of strikes targeting U.S. Military installations in the region. Missile defense batteries were seen firing from Al Udeid Air Base in the Qatari capital of Doha.
Earlier attacks caused damage to installations, as well as civilian areas from downed missiles. At least one fatality was confirmed due to falling debris in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, while additional injuries were confirmed in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
It is believed that the same installations were targeted in the second round of attacks. Anti-missile batteries were seen firing from U.S. military bases in Bahrain, which houses the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.
