Iranian Missile Attack on Israel
At approximately 2:30 a.m. local time, Iran initiated a major missile and drone attack on Israel, codenamed "True Promise Operation 3." Around 36 ballistic missiles were launched, targeting key Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba, and the Golan Heights. Despite Israel's multi-layered air defence systems intercepting the majority of the projectiles, approximately 20 missiles managed to hit their intended targets. The attack involved advanced Iranian weaponry, including IMOD and Qader 110 medium-range ballistic missiles with precision-guided warheads, as well as Kar Shaken hypersonic missiles. At least one missile was equipped with cluster munitions, which struck a hospital in Beersheba. The aftermath of the attack was intense, with 31 people injured in Haifa following an explosion near the government complex, 23 wounded in northern Israel (three seriously), and a woman in Beiriba tragically dying from a heart attack while seeking shelter, in addition to the hospital damage.
