Iran launched a fresh wave of ballistic missiles toward Israel early Tuesday, triggering air-raid sirens across several parts of the country, including areas around Tel Aviv and other central districts.

Israeli defense officials reported that the missiles were detected shortly after launch, prompting immediate activation of the country’s air-defense systems. Warning sirens echoed across cities as residents were instructed to move to protected areas. Millions of Israelis rushed into bomb shelters and underground safe rooms as emergency alerts spread across the region.

According to the Israeli military, most of the incoming missiles were intercepted by air-defense systems, though explosions were heard in several locations as interceptions occurred in the sky above central Israel. Debris from intercepted projectiles reportedly fell in some areas, while emergency services were dispatched to assess potential damage.

The missile barrage comes amid an intensifying conflict between Iran and Israel, with repeated exchanges of strikes over recent days. Reports indicate that earlier Iranian missile attacks targeting central Israel had already caused injuries and damage to buildings, highlighting the growing risks to civilians.

Security analysts warn that the continued missile launches could further escalate the war, as both sides appear prepared to carry out additional strikes in the coming days. With air-raid sirens becoming increasingly frequent across Israeli cities, the situation remains highly volatile and unpredictable.
