Day 101 | Iran launches missiles at 'Israel' amid escalation over Beirut attack
Iran launched multiple waves of missiles toward northern 'Israel' on Sunday night, marking its first direct bombardment of 'Israeli' territory since a fragile ceasefire took effect in early April.
Iran's state broadcaster IRIB confirmed the attack, warning that strikes would continue if 'Israel' responds militarily or fails to halt its operations in Lebanon.
According to 'Israel's' Channel 12, Tehran fired three waves of missiles, including a salvo of four missiles. Initial reports indicated damage in the northern city of Tiberias. The 'Israeli' military said all incoming missiles were intercepted by air defense systems.
The attack prompted 'Israeli' authorities to temporarily suspend operations at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.
The escalation came hours after an 'Israeli' airstrike targeted Beirut's southern suburbs, killing at least two people and injuring 11 others, according to Lebanese reports.
'Israeli' officials vowed a "powerful" response to the missile attack, while Tehran warned of further action if 'Israeli' operations in Lebanon continue.
US President Donald Trump urged Iran to return to negotiations, telling Fox News that the missile strikes were "certainly not going to help" efforts to end the conflict. "Get back to the table and make a deal," Trump said. Trump also expressed dissatisfaction with the 'Israeli' strike on Beirut and told Axios he would urge 'Israel' not to retaliate against Iran.
The latest exchange comes as the conflict reaches its 100th day, with diplomatic efforts to secure a lasting peace appearing increasingly stalled amid renewed military escalation.
