Iran launches waves of missiles towards Israel - Al Jazeera

Iran launched multiple waves of missiles targeting Israel, according to Al Jazeera reporting. The strike represents a direct military escalation in the months-long conflict between Iran and Israel that has intensified since Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli military response in Gaza. Iran has previously signaled it would respond to Israeli military actions, and this attack marks a significant expansion of direct Iranian military involvement in the regional conflict. The missile strikes could trigger Israeli retaliation and further destabilize the Middle East at a time of ongoing tensions over nuclear negotiations and proxy warfare throughout the region. Israel's military and the Trump administration are likely to assess the damage and determine a response strategy.
