Iran launches missiles at Israel as attacks in Middle East commence for sixth day
Iran fired missiles at Israel this morning (05) as violence in the Middle East continued for the sixth day. This escalation follows the sinking of an Iranian warship by an American submarine south of Sri Lanka. In response, Iran has threatened to target military and economic sites throughout the region. Israel reported the missile threat shortly after its forces began new strikes in Lebanon, aiming at the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group in the southern suburbs of Beirut. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Within two hours, three alerts were issued, and Agence France-Presse reporters heard explosions in Jerusalem, but the military has since allowed people to leave their shelters.
