Iran launched a barrage of missiles toward Israel on Sunday night amid escalating regional tensions, according to Iranian and Israeli officials.
Iranian state media reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force targeted Israel’s Ramat David Air Base with ballistic missiles, describing the strike as a response to what it called Israeli actions in southern Lebanon that resulted in civilian deaths and displacement.
The report said the operation was intended as a warning and cautioned that any further attacks would prompt a broader response targeting what it described as U.S. and Israeli interests across the region.
Videos circulating on social media showed missiles streaking across the night sky after being launched from Iran.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that missiles had been fired toward Israeli territory and said its air defense systems were working to intercept the incoming threats.
“The IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward Israel. Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat,” the military said in a statement.
Following Iran’s retaliatory strikes, U.S. President Donald Trump called on Tehran to halt its missile attacks and return to negotiations, as concerns mounted over the risk of a wider regional conflict.
