Iran Fires Missiles at Israel in Three Waves
The Israeli army confirmed in an official statement that it had detected incoming missile fire originating from Iran, adding that air defense systems were actively working to neutralize the threat. Explosions lit up the skies as interception attempts played out over Israeli territory.
Alerts also reached occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, expanding the scope of the threat beyond Israel's internationally recognized borders.
The assault came in three distinct overnight waves, with approximately 10 missiles reportedly fired toward Israel — sending sirens wailing across several northern Israeli cities as well.
The escalation follows an earlier Israeli army airstrike on the Dahiyeh district of Beirut, Lebanon's capital — a strike that came despite an active ceasefire agreement and drew sharp condemnation from Tehran. Iranian officials had publicly vowed retaliation in the wake of that attack.
In a significant parallel development, the Israeli army also confirmed it had conducted offensive strikes targeting western and central regions of Iran, signaling a sharp and dangerous escalation in hostilities between the two nations.
