Iran Attacks Israel, Tensions Skyrocket
Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on Sunday night (7/6/2026) local time, calling it a response to Israel's military operations in Lebanon. This marks the first attack since the ceasefire last April 8. Israeli media reported that Iran fired three waves of missiles, but the Israeli military claims they were all intercepted by the air defense system. Still, initial reports mention damage in the city of Tiberias.
Israel has upped its alert level, suspended operations at Ben Gurion Airport, and told residents to follow emergency procedures. Tensions have spiked further after Israel struck back by attacking military targets in Iran, while explosions were reportedly heard in Tehran, Isfahan, and Tabriz.
The conflict's ripple effects are spreading across the region: Israel has closed all crossings into the Gaza Strip and cut off humanitarian aid.
