On Sunday, Israel’s military reported detecting two successive waves of missiles launched from Iran, triggering air raid sirens across Tel Aviv and causing explosions in Jerusalem. “A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel,” the military stated. The Israeli Air Force responded promptly, “operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat.”
The missile alerts occurred in quick succession, with a second announcement about another wave issued 30 minutes later. The alert was lifted around 8:10 a.m. local time. At least 16 people were injured, and a residential building in Tel Aviv’s Ramat Aviv area was struck. Rescue teams confirmed casualties and damage in central Israel.
This missile barrage followed a U.S. military strike on three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz, as part of a joint effort with Israel to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Flames were reportedly seen at the Fordo site after the bombing. The U.S. employed stealth bombers carrying bunker-buster bombs to target deeply fortified underground facilities.
The ongoing conflict has seen over 370 missiles launched by Iran toward Israel, with at least 23 civilians wounded in recent attacks. Israeli forces maintain air superiority and continue to target Iranian missile launch sites and nuclear infrastructure to prevent further threats. The situation remains volatile as both sides exchange strikes in a rapidly escalating confrontation.
