On Friday night and early Saturday, tensions between Israel and Iran escalated dramatically as Iran launched retaliatory air strikes against Israel.
Barrages of missiles were fired, leading to explosions that echoed through Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest cities. This marked a significant escalation in the long-standing conflict between the two nations.
The Iranian strikes came in response to an earlier Israeli military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear and military facilities. The Israeli attacks reportedly resulted in the deaths of several top Iranian generals, further fueling the hostilities.
According to the Israeli military, Iran fired fewer than 100 missiles, with most intercepted by Israel’s defense systems or falling short of their targets.
Residents in both countries are facing increasing uncertainty as the conflict intensifies. The international community has called for restraint, urging both sides to de-escalate and engage in dialogue.
The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected. The ongoing clashes have raised concerns about regional stability in the Middle East.
Stay tuned for updates on this rapidly evolving situation.
