Iran launches missiles at Israel in first attack since April 8 ceasefire
Israel said it intercepted the missiles as sirens sounded nationwide, while Iran framed the launch as a warning over attacks in Lebanon.
- On Sunday, Iran launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles toward Israel, marking the first direct Iranian attack since the April 8 ceasefire took effect. The Israel Defense Forces reported intercepting all incoming projectiles.
- The missile barrage followed Israeli strikes earlier Sunday on Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's Dahiyeh district. Iranian officials had repeatedly warned that military action in the Lebanese capital would trigger direct retaliation.
- While defensive systems remained active across Israel, sirens sounded in multiple areas, forcing residents into shelters. The IDF warned the nation should remain on high alert for potential additional fire.
- President Donald Trump urged both sides to de-escalate, telling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to retaliate. Trump said, "Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike," calling for renewed negotiations.
- The exchange threatens a fragile ceasefire framework between Washington and Tehran, which remains deadlocked over $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Diplomats warn the conflict risks escalating into wider regional war, complicating global energy security.
