Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated dramatically as Iran launched yet another wave of missile attacks on Israeli territory. According to reports from Iranian media, this marks the fifth missile strike carried out by Tehran in recent days.
Explosions were reportedly heard once again in Tel Aviv and the occupied city of Jerusalem. In response, the Israeli military has urged civilians to move to secure locations as defense systems were activated to intercept the incoming missiles.
Earlier, during the fourth wave of attacks, at least one missile is reported to have landed in central Tel Aviv, allegedly targeting Israel’s nuclear research facility.
These missile launches follow Iran’s massive retaliatory attack Friday night, in which over 200 missiles were fired at Israel in response to earlier hostilities.
