Iran Fires New Missile Salvo at Israel Amid Escalating Crisis
Defense systems were immediately activated to intercept the incoming projectiles, the army announced, urging civilians to "follow the instructions" issued by authorities.
The latest exchange of fire follows an earlier Israeli airstrike Monday on a petrochemical facility in southwestern Iran, which Iranian officials confirmed caused partial damage to the industrial complex.
Air raid sirens wailed across multiple cities in central and southern Israel in the wake of missile launches by Tehran, sending residents scrambling for shelter.
The flare-up is the latest chapter in a broader regional confrontation that ignited after the US and Israel conducted coordinated airstrikes on Iran in late February — a move that triggered successive Iranian retaliatory strikes against Israel and several regional countries hosting American military assets.
A fragile ceasefire brokered on April 8 briefly halted the cycle of strikes, but the agreement quickly unraveled as both sides traded accusations over its implementation, compounded by further deterioration across the region.
