Capital Firestorm: Israeli Airstrikes Ravage Central Tehran, Massive Fires Reported

On Day 31 of the Middle East war, violence continues to expand beyond Iran, affecting Palestine and Gulf regions. In Al-Khalil (Hebron), clashes erupted as Israeli civilians allegedly attacked the Al-Arub refugee camp, setting Palestinian vehicles on fire and assaulting residents. Similar incidents were reported in Bethlehem and Nahalin, increasing tensions in Palestinian areas. Meanwhile, Israel intensified airstrikes on Tehran, causing massive destruction and fires in central areas. The strikes led to widespread panic, with thick smoke and flames visible across the city. U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on social media that American forces had a “big day” in Iran, asserting that key targets were successfully destroyed. In response, Iran launched retaliatory attacks on Gulf nations, including a major strike in Abu Dhabi, where an aluminum plant was bombed, causing severe fire and damage. The conflict is rapidly escalating, spreading instability across multiple regions with rising humanitarian and geopolitical risks.
