A Tehran resident injured in Friday's Israeli airstrikes recalled the horror of the massive explosion that trapped him in debris with a leg broken.
Israel has conducted five waves of airstrikes against Iran since early Friday morning, targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites, according to an Israeli military official, while explosions have been reported in Tehran and western Iranian provinces.
The injured resident was in a residential area in Tehran that was struck by the Israeli airstrikes.
"My leg is broken. I am a driver of a roadside assistance vehicle. I had just pulled out of the parking lot and was driving towards the middle of the road when I suddenly heard a massive explosion. Debris fell on my vehicle, trapping me inside. Right now, my head is buzzing, and I have no idea what exactly happened," the resident said.
