The conflict in the Middle East intensified dramatically after Iran reportedly launched advanced Fattah hypersonic missiles toward Israel, with Israeli media reporting impacts and alarms near Ben Gurion Airport, the country’s main international gateway.

According to statements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the attack was part of a large-scale retaliatory campaign involving multiple missile systems, including Fattah, Khorramshahr-4, and Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles. The barrage formed part of Tehran’s ongoing military operation aimed at Israeli and U.S. targets across the region.

Air-raid sirens reportedly sounded across central Israel as missile defense systems scrambled to intercept incoming projectiles. Israeli authorities said at least one missile landed west of Jerusalem, while security forces searched several locations for debris and possible impact sites.

The Fattah missile has drawn particular attention from military analysts. Designed as a hypersonic weapon, it can travel at extremely high speeds—reportedly above Mach 13—while performing evasive maneuvers during its terminal phase. This combination of speed and maneuverability makes interception significantly more difficult for modern air-defense systems.

The strike comes amid an escalating war involving Iran, Israel, and increasingly the United States, following large-scale U.S.–Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure. Tehran has responded with waves of drone and missile attacks targeting Israeli cities and U.S. bases across the Middle East.
