Tensions in the Middle East escalated early Sunday as Iran launched around 25 missiles at Israel, just hours after the United States carried out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The missiles hit various parts of Israel, including major cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa. Reports said buildings were damaged in residential areas, and emergency services quickly responded to the affected locations.
In Tel Aviv, fire officials confirmed “direct damage” to buildings, while in Haifa, one missile landed without triggering the air raid sirens, raising concerns over early warning systems.
This latest attack follows a series of rising tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the US. The US military had earlier targeted Iran’s nuclear sites, a move seen as part of ongoing efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions and respond to recent threats.
There are no official reports of casualties yet, but the situation remains tense, with fears of further escalation in the region.
World leaders have called for calm as both Iran and Israel continue to exchange threats, raising concerns of a wider conflict in the Middle East.
