Missile Attack Israel hits Iran sites after missile intercept

Jerusalem

Israel launched a fresh wave of airstrikes on Iran early Monday, shortly after intercepting a missile fired from Iranian territory, according to the Israeli military. The airstrikes targeted what Israel described as military infrastructure in Iran’s Kermanshah province, including surface-to-surface missile launch and storage facilities. Over 15 warplanes took part in the operation.

The attack came just hours after Iran launched a missile toward Israel, setting off air raid sirens across the country. The Israeli military confirmed the missile was intercepted with no casualties or damage reported.

Iran’s missile launch followed recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, reportedly in response to growing tensions. These strikes, called Operation Midnight Hammer, targeted sites in Isfahan, Fordow, and Natanz and marked America’s first direct involvement in the conflict. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned the attacks, calling them a big crime and warning of ongoing retaliation against Israel.

Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks on Israel. In a speech, Khamenei said Israel was already being punished and vowed continued action. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would maintain operations in both Iran and Gaza, aiming to achieve its military objectives without being drawn into a prolonged conflict.

Amid the escalation, Iran’s parliament voted to support closing the Strait of Hormuz, a major global oil route. However, any final decision will be made by the Supreme National Security Council. The region remains on edge as tensions between Iran, Israel, and now the U.S. continue to rise.
