TEHRAN — Qatari news channel Al Araby reported on Sunday that an Israeli missile had hit the building housing its office in Tehran, causing damage.

 

"An Israeli missile targets the Al Araby TV channel building in the capital, Tehran... extensive damage and the suspension of live broadcasting," it said in a post on X.

 

Footage from inside the office showed broken windows, shattered glass and debris. Outside the building, images showed the streets covered in debris along with damage to surrounding buildings.

 

It was not immediately clear what was targeted in the area. Al Araby's office is situated in a residential part of northeastern Tehran.

 

The channel's bureau chief in the city, Hazem Kallas, said he was in the middle of a report on the war when the missile hit.

 

Kallas posted a video on X showing the four-storey building with its facade apparently heavily damaged, particularly on the first and second floors.

 

"This area is both residential and commercial," he said, adding that the building also housed a physiotherapy centre, beauty salon, dental clinic and a cafe.

 

The war in Iran broke out on February 28 when Israel and the United States launched strikes against the Islamic republic, killing its supreme leader and triggering a conflict that has spread across the Middle East.

 

On March 2, Russia's state-run RT television news network said its office in northern Tehran was damaged in an Israeli strike on the area.
