Iran Launches Fresh Missile Salvos at Israel

(MENAFN) Iran unleashed two additional waves of missile attacks targeting northern and central Israel on Monday, as hostilities between the two nations reached their most dangerous flashpoint since a ceasefire took hold in April.

Ben Gurion Airport, Israel's primary international hub near Tel Aviv, activated air raid sirens as the strikes unfolded. Dramatic footage spreading across social media captured passengers being rushed off an El Al aircraft moments before it was due to take off.

The Israeli military confirmed its defense systems had successfully intercepted the incoming missiles. Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service reported no casualties since the initial Iranian missile barrage was launched Sunday night.

The escalating confrontation marks the most severe exchange between Israel and Iran since an April ceasefire agreement, with both nations trading strikes throughout Monday. The renewed hostilities trace back to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut on Sunday — strikes that claimed at least two lives — prompting Tehran to retaliate with missiles aimed at northern and central Israel.
