Iran Launches Missiles At Israel After Israeli Strikes On Beirut’s Southern Suburbs

Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday in response to Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, shattering a fragile ceasefire and marking the most serious escalation since April, after 100 days of war.

The Guardian reported that Iran launched about 10 ballistic missiles at northern Israel and said all the missiles were intercepted or struck open areas, according to the military.

Shafaq News said Iran launched four waves of missiles toward Israel on Sunday, sending residents into shelters across northern and central Israel after Tehran vowed to retaliate for Israeli strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs.

The Jerusalem Post’s live updates said sirens sounded following an Iranian missile launch across northern Israel after IAF Beirut strikes, and it quoted the IDF saying it "reinforced its defensive posture and remains on high alert".

In Israel, sirens sounded across northern Israel after the launches, and Shafaq News said Israel’s Channel 12 reported that four Iranian missiles were intercepted while debris fell in the Tiberias area after the interceptions.

Shafaq News also reported that Israel’s Education Ministry announced that schools across the country would remain closed on Monday amid the escalating security situation, while the Home Front Command urged the public not to publish or share images and locations of missile impacts.

The Guardian said US president Donald Trump called Israeli prime minister Bejamin Netanyahu urging him "not to strike back," adding he was "not happy about it" and that it would “not help” negotiations with Tehran.

The Jerusalem Post’s live updates included a statement that the IDF will strike Iran ‘forcefully’ the moment a green light is given Israel's airspace to remain open, Transportation Ministry confirms, and it also cited IDF preparation for a range of scenarios.

On the Iranian side, the Guardian reported that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said: “This operation is not a passing event, but rather the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes.”

The Guardian added that the IRGC statement warned: “Waves of missiles and drones will continue to be launched around the clock for the next seven days until the enemy is deterred and ceases its crimes.”

The Jerusalem Post’s live updates also included Reuters material saying Iran rejects idea of its assets being used to pay damages to US allies, and it placed the dispute alongside CENTCOM readiness and a Pentagon leak about Israel.

In the same Reuters framing carried by The Jerusalem Post, Iran's top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf threatened US targets over Lebanon escalation, and the Reuters-linked section quoted him saying Tehran would be “in direct confrontation with the enemy” following the attack.
