Explosions and smoke seen as Iranian missiles hit Israel

Iran launched a missile attack on Israel, with explosions and smoke visible across the country following the strikes. The attack marks an escalation in the months-long conflict between the two nations, which has intensified since Israel's military operations against Iranian-backed groups in Lebanon and Gaza. Israel's air defenses were activated in response to the incoming fire. The strike appears to be retaliation for previous Israeli actions against Iranian interests in the region. The attack raises immediate concerns about further escalation and potential Israeli response.
