Missiles Fly as Iran Retaliates After Israeli Strikes in Beirut and Tehran
Amid escalating tensions, Iran has launched missile attacks in response to fresh Israeli strikes on targets in Tehran and Beirut. Get the latest updates on this evolving conflict.
Iran fired missiles toward Israel on Friday, Israeli officials said, after Israel launched fresh strikes on Tehran and hit Beirut's southern suburbs overnight.
The latest exchange of fire marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two long-time regional rivals, who have been engaged in a tit-for-tat confrontation for several days. The strikes have targeted critical infrastructure and military sites in both countries, raising fears of a wider regional war.
While details remain fluid, the Iranian missile barrage appears to have been in retaliation for the earlier Israeli attacks. Israeli defense systems reportedly intercepted some of the incoming missiles, but the full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
