Tensions between Iran and Israel have reached a dangerous new level as Iran has launched a major missile strike against Israel in what it calls a “retaliatory action” against recent Israeli attacks. According to Iranian media, more than 150 missiles were fired at targets inside Israel.
The missiles, reported to be ballistic in nature, triggered widespread alarms in several Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, where explosions and smoke clouds were seen after impact. The Israeli military has confirmed that multiple ballistic missiles were launched by Iran and that emergency response teams have been activated across the country.
Sirens wailed across Israeli towns and cities as authorities ordered civilians to seek shelter in bunkers, indicating the seriousness of the threat. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are now assessing the damage and preparing a strategic response.
This development follows days of heightened tension after Israel conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian sites, prompting Iran to vow a strong response. With this direct military exchange, fears of an all-out war in the region have grown sharply.
The international community has expressed deep concern, urging both countries to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation.
