Missiles were sighted heading toward Israel in the early hours of Saturday, with the Israeli military confirming that the projectiles had been launched from Iran. The escalation comes amid heightened regional tensions, as Israel reported a series of incoming strikes targeting its territory.
In response to the missile launches, the Israeli army announced that it had begun a new wave of airstrikes aimed at Iranian infrastructure in Tehran. According to reports from Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, the attacks heavily targeted Mehrabad Airport, causing significant disruption to the facility.
The conflict extended beyond Iran, with Israel also conducting fresh strikes in Lebanon. Israeli officials stated that both Iranian and Hezbollah positions were being targeted. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which has previously fired rockets into Israel, has yet to issue an immediate statement regarding the latest strikes.
Explosions were reported inside Israel as the nation’s missile defense systems engaged to intercept the incoming Iranian fire. The situation underscores the escalating tensions in the region, with cross-border attacks and retaliatory strikes increasing the risk of a broader confrontation.
