  • Iran Launches 3rd Retaliation In 24 Hours Over Israel | Missiles Fired On Tel Aviv, Jerusalem

    Iran launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks on Israel early Saturday, escalating a rapidly intensifying conflict between the two nations. The assault, dubbed "Honest Promise 3" by Iranian state media, followed Israeli airstrikes that targeted Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure in what officials described as the country's most significant military operation to date. The Israeli offensive, named "Operation Rising Lion," reportedly killed several high-ranking Iranian military officers and nuclear scientists. In retaliation, Iran fired ballistic missiles toward Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, triggering air raid sirens and explosions across both cities. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed continued retaliation, declaring that Israel would face consequences for its actions. Israeli defenses intercepted some projectiles, but damage and fear spread among civilians. This direct military confrontation marks a dangerous escalation in Middle Eastern tensions, risking broader regional instability and drawing international concern over the potential for full-scale war.

  • Houthi Missile Shot Down Over Israel | Sirens Sound In Tel Aviv | Ben Gurion Airport Targeted | N18G

    On June 3, sirens sounded across Tel Aviv, central Israel, Jerusalem, and parts of the West Bank after a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by Israeli air defense systems. The Houthis, an Iran-backed group in Yemen, claimed responsibility, stating the missile targeted Ben Gurion Airport. The attack occurred shortly before the start of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Residents were alerted in advance through mobile push notifications from the Home Front Command. No injuries or damage were reported in this incident. Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, the Houthis have launched dozens of missile and drone attacks at Israel, most of which have been intercepted. A rare successful strike earlier this month caused minor injuries near Ben Gurion Airport. The latest missile fire came in response to an Israeli airstrike last week on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, which destroyed a plane used by the Houthis.
