Iran launches missile attack on Israel, intercepted by defense systems

Iran launched multiple missiles at Israel on Thursday, triggering air raid sirens across central Israel, Jerusalem, Haifa, and parts of the occupied West Bank. Israel's military intercepted seven waves of incoming projectiles, though falling shrapnel wounded seven people in Tel Aviv and Kafr Qassem. The attack marks a significant escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict, demonstrating Iran's ability to strike deep into Israeli territory despite defense systems. Rescue services deployed to assess damage in Kafr Qassem where cluster munitions caused residential damage, while Tel Aviv saw apartment building strikes. This follows overnight rocket attacks from Lebanon by Iran-backed Hezbollah, which Israel intercepted, and reports of a soldier killed in South Lebanon fighting.
