Iran Launches Missiles at Israel, Strikes Holon and Sets Vehicles Ablaze as Sirens Sound

Iran launched a new missile barrage toward Israel on Friday, triggering air-raid sirens across central Israel and parts of the occupied West Bank and causing at least one strike in Holon that set vehicles ablaze while Israeli air defences intercepted incoming missiles, according to multiple reports.

Anadolu Agency reported that "Air raid sirens sounded across central Israel Friday after missile launches were detected from Iran, Israeli media reported," and said "A strike on Holon set vehicles on fire, the report said, adding that air defense systems intercepted the limited barrage of missiles launched toward Israeli territory."

Shafaq News likewise described the event as "Iran launched a new missile barrage toward Israel on Friday as part of the 45th wave of ‘Operation True Promise 4,’" and noted that "Israeli media reported that air-raid sirens sounded across central Israel, including the Shfela, Lakhish, and Samaria regions, after missiles were fired from Iran."

The Palestine Chronicle also confirmed loud alerts, reporting: "Sirens Sound in Tel Aviv and West Bank Settlements Amid Missile Launches ISRAELI MEDIA: Air-raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and in several settlements across the occupied West Bank following missile launches toward Israel."

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) framed the strikes as part of an ongoing campaign it calls “Operation True Promise 4,” saying the mission targeted "American-Zionist enemy objectives" and employed precision solid-fuel Kheibar-Shekan ballistic missiles alongside naval and drone units; Iranian and allied statements described this as the 45th wave of the operation.

Shafaq News reported: "In a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the strike targeted ‘American-Zionist enemy objectives,’ using a large number of precision solid-fuel ‘Kheibar-Shekan’ missiles, a ballistic missile type developed by Iran for long-range strikes."

Anadolu Agency likewise quoted Tehran saying the IRGC "had launched the 45th wave of what it described as ‘Operation True Promise 4’ against Israeli and US targets," and Shafaq added that "the operation involved naval forces, drone units from the Iranian Army and the IRGC, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah, marking the second time Tehran has publicly mentioned the group’s participation in the campaign."

The Palestine Chronicle quoted Gen. Majid Mousavi claiming an especially heavy salvo: "Gen. Majid Mousavi said 30 ultra-heavy ballistic missiles with warheads weighing between one and two tons were launched toward targets in the occupied territories during the Night of Qadr, describing the strike as the heaviest ‘operational rainfall’ attack against Israel so far and claiming it disrupted key Israeli air-surveillance systems."

Israeli authorities reported detecting launches from Iranian territory and activating air-defence measures, while media said shrapnel and explosions were observed across central Israel and parts of the West Bank; separately, Iranian and allied statements claimed they had disrupted Israeli surveillance systems.

“The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced the launch of the 45th wave of Operation True Promise 4 against American and Israeli targets in response to the ongoing US-Israeli terrorist aggression against Iran”

Shafaq News noted that "The Israeli military confirmed detecting launches from Iranian territory and said air-defense systems were activated to intercept the threat, while people were instructed to move to protected areas and follow Home Front Command guidance."

Anadolu reported that "Israel’s Channel 12 reported shrapnel falling in several locations in central Israel," and an Anadolu correspondent "also reported large explosions in the skies over central and northern parts of the occupied West Bank, coinciding with the launches."

The Palestine Chronicle included Iranian claims that the barrage "disrupted key Israeli air-surveillance systems," a claim made by Gen. Majid Mousavi in its report.

The strikes form part of a wider regional escalation that outlets link to nearly two weeks of clashes between Tehran and a US–Israeli axis, with reports also noting strikes and counterstrikes in Lebanon and the downing of a US refuelling aircraft.

Shafaq framed the incident within the broader confrontation, saying the barrage came "as the war between Washington and Tel Aviv on one side and Tehran on the other entered its 14th day."

Anadolu Agency

Anadolu placed the attacks "amid rising tensions across the Middle East" and reported Tehran’s narrative that the IRGC launched strikes "against Israeli and US targets,"

while the Palestine Chronicle recorded regional spillover including that "Hezbollah Targets Israeli Troop Gathering in Metula; Israeli Strikes Hit Southern Lebanon" and that "US CENTRAL COMMAND: All six crew members aboard the US refueling aircraft that crashed yesterday were killed, and investigations into the incident are ongoing."
