Israel, Iran Exchange Missile Fire
6 hours ago
Israel and Iran exchanged missile fire Monday in what officials described as the most serious escalation since a ceasefire took effect two months ago.
Israeli authorities said Iran launched three waves of missiles toward the country, triggering air raid alerts and prompting air defense systems to intercept incoming projectiles. Explosions were reported in central Israel as residents sought shelter.
The exchange came after Israel carried out strikes inside Iran, which officials said were conducted in response to earlier missile activity from Tehran.
The conflict also expanded beyond the two countries when Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a missile toward Israel and renewed threats against shipping in the Red Sea.
The latest developments have raised concerns among world leaders about the possibility of a broader regional conflict, with renewed calls for restraint and de-escalation across the Middle East.
