Loud explosions echoed across Tel Aviv late Thursday, according to eyewitness accounts and verified footage obtained by KhabarAsia.com. The incident occurred hours after U.S. military strikes targeted three nuclear facilities in Iran, raising concerns about potential regional escalation.
A CGTN correspondent in Israel’s capital captured exclusive video showing bright flashes illuminating the night sky, with emergency vehicles later seen mobilizing across the city. Local authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the blasts or reported casualties.
The developments come amid heightened tensions following Washington’s unprecedented direct strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure earlier in the day. Security analysts suggest the Tel Aviv incident could represent either retaliatory action or precautionary defensive measures by regional actors.
Market observers note increased volatility in Asian energy markets following the events, with Brent crude futures rising 2.8% in after-hours trading. The situation remains fluid, with governments across Asia issuing updated travel advisories for citizens in the Middle East.
