Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at Israel, targeting Ben Gurion Airport and military facilities. The attack violates a ceasefire that had just been announced by U.S. President Donald Trump and confirmed by Iranian state television.
The missile strikes hit key Israeli sites including the country’s main airport and research facilities. This marks a major escalation in the conflict that began after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Multiple Waves of Attacks
Iran fired the missiles in several waves over a short time period. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel, forcing millions of people to take shelter in safe areas.
Some missiles caused power outages and damaged infrastructure in Israel. However, no casualties were reported from the most recent strikes.
Israel Responds with Airstrikes
The Israeli Defense Forces quickly responded to the Iranian missile attack. Israel launched unprecedented airstrikes targeting military installations in Tehran and other Iranian locations.
This continued the cycle of attacks between the two countries, with each side responding to the other’s military actions.
Ceasefire Violation
The Iranian missile attack came shortly after President Trump announced that both countries had agreed to a complete ceasefire. Iran had also confirmed the ceasefire agreement on its state television.
The missile strikes represent an official violation of the ceasefire that had just been declared. This shows the fragile nature of the peace agreement and the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel.
The escalation raises questions about the stability of any future ceasefire agreements between the two nations.
