Overview
- Hours after Israel struck Hezbollah command sites in the Dahieh district of Beirut on Sunday, Iran launched missile volleys toward northern Israel that Israeli forces say air defences intercepted.
- Israeli authorities reported intercepting 11 missiles from Iran and later said the Israeli Air Force struck military targets in western and central Iran in response.
- Lebanese officials said the Dahieh raid killed at least two people and wounded about 20, while Israel imposed domestic precautions such as cancelling in‑person schooling and limits on public gatherings.
- A missile launched from Yemen that Israeli forces say was linked to Houthi-aligned actors was intercepted, broadening the confrontation beyond the Israel‑Iran axis and raising the risk of further regional spillover.
- President Donald Trump has pressed Israel for restraint, calling Prime Minister Netanyahu to urge no further retaliation, and U.S. diplomacy is active to try to contain the rapid cycle of reprisals.
