TEL AVIV — The escalating conflict between Iran and Israel entered its fourth day with a new barrage of Iranian missile strikes targeting Israeli cities early Monday, resulting in fresh casualties and extensive damage.
Air raid sirens blared across Israel in the early hours as ballistic missiles rained down, prompting immediate activation of the Iron Dome air defense system. According to emergency services, at least Eight civilians were confirmed dead and dozens injured in the latest round of strikes.
In Tel Aviv, residents were jolted awake as explosions filled the night sky, with many missiles intercepted mid-air. However, some projectiles penetrated the defense systems, hitting residential areas and critical infrastructure.
Local authorities have urged citizens to remain in shelters, as medical teams and first responders work to aid the injured and assess the extent of the damage.
Iran’s missile offensive comes in direct retaliation for a series of Israeli airstrikes over the weekend. Those strikes reportedly targeted Iranian nuclear sites, military installations, and civilian areas, prompting Tehran’s vow to respond “decisively and proportionately.”
The Iranian government claims the latest attacks are part of a broader counteroffensive aimed at deterring further Israeli aggression. Drone and missile launches from within Iranian territory have significantly intensified over the past 48 hours.
World leaders have expressed growing alarm over the rapidly deteriorating situation. The United Nations Security Council is expected to convene an emergency session later today. The United States and European powers have called for an immediate ceasefire, warning of the conflict’s potential to spiral into a broader regional war.
Despite diplomatic efforts, both Tehran and Tel Aviv appear firmly entrenched in their military postures, with no signs of de-escalation on the horizon.
