Escalating Tensions: Iran Launches Ballistic Missiles at Israel Amid Ongoing Conflict

Middle East Conflict Intensifies

Israel-Iran LIVE Updates: On Sunday, tensions in the Middle East surged as Iran fired around 150 ballistic missiles at Israel in two separate waves. These missile strikes, which occurred late Friday and early Saturday, were a direct response to Israeli airstrikes that targeted Iran, resulting in the deaths of several high-ranking military officials. Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, condemned the attack, stating that Iran has 'crossed red lines' by launching missiles aimed at civilian areas in Israel.

In light of the escalating situation, evacuation efforts commenced in Tel Aviv. Additionally, air raid sirens were activated throughout Israel after military forces detected a missile originating from Yemen. This latest escalation follows a preemptive strike by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which aimed at Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the initiation of 'Operation Rising Lion' on Friday, a focused military campaign designed to mitigate the Iranian threat. Netanyahu emphasized that the operation would persist until the threat is effectively neutralized.
