Iran strikes Tel Aviv and Herzliya in broad daylight after a senior Iranian general was killed

0:00 Let's bring in Nora Day. She's live for us in the Jordanian capital. A man, she's reporting on Israel from there because the Israeli government has banned Alzer from reporting inside Israel and indeed inside the occupied West Bank. So, no, first of all, tell us about this latest hit that we've just seen in the past hour or so on in Tel Aviv. Well, Laura, alarms sounded in uh Tel Aviv and in many cities in northern Israel, including Herzilia. Uh they also sounded here and we could hear the thuds very far in the distance to the back in in that direction. Uh we now know that there were two direct impacts uh from those um Iranian missiles. One in the Tel Aviv area and one in Herzelia. Now

0:48 the uh some Israeli reporters are say describing the missile strike in Herzilia as having targeted a sensitive site. Now that is code for something of military significance or strategic significance. The military sensor in Israel has updated and further constrained the limitations of media coverage on uh missile strikes on Israel. So we have very little information, but we could see those pictures and there are some images of interceptions uh and fragments of that in northern Israel. But in the past few minutes, Laura, we have also heard from the Israeli military having after having cleared citizens to leave shelters announcing that they killed Iran's armed

1:33 forces chief of staff. That is a big announcement, one sure to uh indicate a road towards further escalation if for nothing else. Uh this is a confrontation that doesn't have a routine. In the beginning, we thought that strikes from Iran only happen at night and now we're reporting on strikes happening in broad daylight and announcements of major assassinations also continuing uh you know days after this started on Friday. Yeah. As we see this conflict continuing to escalate, nor we are hearing several countries now warning their citizen in Israel to be on high alert and even to leave if they can. Yes, the Chinese embassy has advised its

2:21 diplomats and citizens to leave uh Israel by land. uh the uh we're hearing also the uh Polish the and the German governments are also advising their citizens to do the same and basically most countries have advised their citizens not to come uh to the region and if that they're there uh at the least to take all necessary precautions. This is a fastm moving situation and one that is quite unnerving for everybody who lives in the region. There is just no guessing what will happen next and what the new development will be in this uh deteriorating situation. Laura indeed. Okay. No, for the moment many thanks indeed for keeping us a breast of all the latest developments.
