Iran launched a fresh wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, injuring at least 25 people and triggering nationwide alerts and defence responses according to Channel 12, citing emergency officials.
The Israeli military confirmed it had detected missile launches from Iran and activated defence systems in response. Sirens were heard in several parts of the country, with residents ordered to take shelter and follow instructions from the Home Front Command.
"The Israeli military identified that missiles were recently launched from Iran towards the territory of the State of Israel. Defence systems are working to intercept the threat," the military said on X.
A military spokesperson said the air force was intercepting and striking targets where needed to remove ongoing threats. Explosions were reported in northern and central Israel, including in the Gush Dan area.
Channel 12 reported direct hits on structures, with emergency services responding. One person was seriously injured, and fires broke out at several impact sites. Police confirmed that weapons debris fell in at least two communities in the Tel Aviv District, causing property damage.
Additional incidents were reported in the coastal district, where more buildings and infrastructure were damaged.
Public broadcaster KAN also reported that the military detected hostile aircraft near Milvot and the northern coastline.
The missile attack is a direct retaliation for Israeli strikes that began last Friday on Iranian nuclear and missile facilities, which killed several high-ranking commanders and scientists. Monday’s escalation adds to fears of a broader conflict across the region.
