Israel Reports Fewer Iranian Barrages After Strikes on Launchers in Day 4 of U.S.–Israel Offensive
The White House signaled an open-ended timeline for operations.
Overview
- An IDF spokesperson said Israeli and U.S. forces have destroyed dozens of Iranian missile launchers, reducing the frequency and volume of barrages toward Israel.
- Sirens sounded repeatedly in central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as defenses intercepted fresh rockets and drones launched from Iran.
- The IDF said it is conducting offensive operations against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon following the group’s rocket and drone fire at northern Israel.
- President Donald Trump and senior defense officials said additional U.S. forces are deploying to the region and indicated the campaign could extend beyond the initial four-to-five week projection.
- Congress is set to vote this week on war-powers resolutions to halt U.S. strikes, with party leaders split over whether an imminent Iranian threat justified the president’s action.
