Iran launched missiles at northern Israel on Sunday in response to an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strike on Hezbollah command centers in Beirut. The IDF reported that air defense systems were activated after detecting missiles launched from Iran, marking the first direct Iranian attack on Israel since an April ceasefire. Initial reports indicated that several missiles were fired, but it was unclear how many were intercepted by Israeli forces. This attack followed Israeli missile strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, which resulted in at least two fatalities and several injuries, according to Lebanese authorities. Israel stated that its strike was in retaliation for earlier Hezbollah rocket fire targeting northern Israel. Iran had previously warned that any attack on Beirut would be considered an act of war.
