Iran Launches Ballistic Missile Strikes on Haifa, Tel Aviv

Tensions between Iran and Israel escalated dramatically late Sunday as Iran launched a series of ballistic missile attacks targeting Israeli cities Haifa and Tel Aviv, according to Arab and Israeli media reports.

Arab media sources confirmed that Iranian missiles struck near a military base and the port in Haifa, with one missile reportedly landing near Haifa’s port area. Explosions and air raid sirens were reported across the city, and several people were injured, Israeli media said.

In Tel Aviv, Iranian missiles caused powerful explosions, with one missile reportedly hitting a building in northern Israel and another striking a structure east of Tel Aviv. The sounds of blasts were heard in northern parts of the city, triggering panic and emergency response.

According to initial reports, Iran specifically targeted Israeli military installations with the ballistic missile barrage. The attack marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, raising fears of a wider regional war.

Israeli emergency services and military officials have yet to issue a full statement on casualties and damage.
