UPSOUND (Italian) Vlad Sokolov, CGTN stringer:
"I'm in Ness Ziona (near Tel Aviv), Israel. A missile got through air defenses and landed here. The time is now 8:30 a.m. The missile made landfall an hour ago. Ambulance crews and army personnel are on the scene helping to evacuate the wounded. A tractor is clearing the debris off the road. You can see the houses are blasted to bits, and rubble is still falling. I saw a child crying. People are in shock. All the windows were blown out. This will give you an idea of the impact of the explosion."

Iran launched two waves of missiles into Israel on Sunday, following the U.S. bombing of its nuclear sites.

The missiles directly struck central Israel, including Ness Ziona, a town south of Tel Aviv, as well as Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv itself, and the Carmel neighborhood in Haifa, causing extensive damage.

China Global Television Network (CGTN) stringer Vlad Sokolov recorded the impact of the strikes in Ness Ziona, where he said houses were blasted to bits and people were left in shock.
