Iran Fires Third Salvo Of Missiles At Israel In Under 2 Hours
New Delhi : Iran launched a fresh wave of ballistic missiles at Israel on Monday, a day after the US conducted precision strikes targeting three key nuclear facilities in Tehran. Explosions were heard over Jerusalem, while sirens blared across northern Israel.
In the south, Israeli medics responded to reports of a missile strike in Ashdod. The Israeli military confirmed multiple launches from Iran amid rapidly escalating tensions. Iran fired around 15 ballistic missiles, some of which made direct impacts on Israeli territory. Tensions in the Middle East escalated to new heights after the United States joined Israel’s military campaign against Iran and conducted precision airstrikes to bomb the Islamic Republic’s three nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfaha.
A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel, the IDF said in a statement. The exchange marked the 11th straight day of cross-border fire between the two adversaries. Iran said its latest missile and drone barrage on Israel marked a new phase of its military campaign, dubbed “True Promise 3”, targeting Tel Aviv and Haifa. Iranian state media reported that the strikes involved a combination of ballistic missiles and drones.
Earlier in the day, the Israeli military claimed it had struck six Iranian military airports, destroying 15 fighter jets and helicopters, including F-14, F-5, and AH-1 aircraft. The IDF said its strikes also damaged runways and underground facilities at the targeted sites.
