Iran launches missile barrage toward Israel as air defences intercept incoming fire

Iran launched a new wave of ballistic missiles toward Israel on Sunday, marking a sharp escalation in regional tensions, according to multiple international reports.

Israeli air defence systems were activated to intercept the incoming projectiles, with sirens sounding across several northern and central areas.

The Israeli military confirmed that multiple missiles were detected and that defensive systems were deployed to counter the attack.

No immediate official casualty figures were released at the time of reporting, while authorities said assessments were ongoing.

The strikes come amid heightened hostilities following recent Israeli military actions in Lebanon, which Iran has condemned and warned could trigger wider regional retaliation, according to news agencies.

The latest missile barrage is the first reported Iranian strike since a fragile ceasefire earlier this year, raising fears of renewed escalation between the two sides.

Regional observers say the situation remains highly volatile, with both Israel and Iran exchanging warnings and signaling readiness for further action. The developments have also prompted international concern over potential spillover effects across the Middle East.
