Escalation in the Middle East: Iran and Israel Exchange Missile Barrages
Tension escalates between Iran and Israel, with Iran launching a barrage of missiles that resulted in casualties and infrastructure damage. Israel retaliated with targeted strikes on Iran's military and nuclear facilities. The conflict sees no signs of de-escalation as both sides vow continued aggression.
Iran unleashed a fresh round of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, prompting air raid sirens to wail across the nation. Emergency services report at least five fatalities, with dozens more injured, as this marks the fourth consecutive day of open warfare between these longtime adversaries.
A missile landed near the American consulate in Tel Aviv, causing minor damage but no injuries, according to U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Iran announced the launch of approximately 100 missiles, promising further retaliation against Israel's aggressive strikes on its military and nuclear sites, which have resulted in 224 deaths in Iran since last Friday.
So far, Iran's assault has killed 24 people in Israel and injured over 500. In response, Israeli forces targeted 10 Quds Force command centers in Tehran. As powerful explosions shook Tel Aviv, authorities in Petah Tikva reported Iranian missiles hitting a residential area, leading to more casualties and destruction.
