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.

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.

Public broadcaster KAN also reported that the military detected hostile aircraft near Milvot and the northern coastline.
