Iran launches missiles at Israel in first attack since April 8 ceasefire
Israel said its air defenses intercepted incoming missiles as Iran warned of a broader response and mediation efforts for a ceasefire deal faced fresh strain.
- Iran launched two successive waves of ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday night, marking the first direct Iranian bombardment of Israeli territory since a fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire took effect in early April.
- The escalation serves as the direct retaliation promised by Tehran after Israeli jets struck a residential building in Beirut's southern suburbs hours earlier, an attack that Lebanese officials stated killed two people and wounded 20 others.
- The Israel Defense Forces reported intercepting all incoming missiles, noting that while air raid sirens blanketed multiple regions and explosions echoed in northern skies, their air defense array functioned successfully.
- Israeli authorities ordered the nationwide cancellation of all schools for Monday and severely restricted public gatherings, while an anonymous official confirmed to media outlets that Israel plans to respond forcefully to the strikes.
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and state broadcaster warned that attacks will continue if Israel does not halt its strikes on Lebanon, further complicating highly sensitive back-channel peace negotiations mediated by Pakistan, Egypt, and Qatar.
