High Tension: Iran Fires Missiles at Israel Amid Escalating Conflict

The Israeli military has reported that Iran has launched dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel, prompting air raid sirens and warnings for Israelis to shelter in place. This attack, said to be retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, further complicates an already volatile situation in the Middle East.

In a significant escalation, the Israeli military announced Tuesday that Iran has fired numerous ballistic missiles at the country. Air raid sirens wailed across Israel, with residents in cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem warned to seek shelter immediately.

This development follows a dire warning from a senior U.S. administration official that Iran was on the verge of launching an attack. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier issued a stark caution to Iran, asserting Israel could strike anywhere in the Middle East.

The situation has garnered international attention, with the United Nations urging for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further escalation. Meanwhile, Turkey and other nations are making evacuation plans, anticipating a potential worsening of the conflict.
