A new wave of Iranian missile and drone strikes has targeted Israel, triggering sirens and reports of heavy explosions in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and northern border cities, according to Iranian state media.
Following a massive escalation the previous day that saw extensive Israeli and US strikes on Iranian territory, the Islamic Republic of Iran has launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks against Israel. The attacks represent a continuation of direct hostilities, with Iranian media uniformly framing the strikes as targeting the occupied territories and the occupying regime.
State-affiliated Fars News International and the pro-regime Emergency War News channel reported that sirens were activated in Tel Aviv and occupied Jerusalem. Both sources stated that severe explosions were heard as the Iranian missiles reached the cities. The pro-government Pezeshkian Supporters channel added that massive explosions rocked occupied Jerusalem, highlighting that some blasts were heard before the warning sirens even sounded. The channel also claimed that images have circulated showing Iranian missiles crossing the skies over the West Bank.
The strikes also prompted alerts across Israel's northern frontiers. The official IRGC News Channel, which serves as an outlet for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, cited Al Mayadeen and Israeli media to report that sirens sounded in northern Israel due to fears of drone infiltration. Citing statements from the Israeli Home Front Command, the Iranian news aggregator Akharin Khabar confirmed warning sirens in Nahariya and the surrounding Western Galilee region, as well as in cities bordering southern Lebanon.
