Israeli military identifies missiles launched from Iran
Iran has launched a missile attack against Israel, describing it as a warning following an Israeli strike on Beirut. The Israeli military reports intercepting the missiles, while US President Donald Trump has stated he intends to urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid further retaliation.
Why it matters
This escalation threatens to destabilize the fragile regional truce and risks drawing the US and other regional actors into a broader conflict.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said that a missile attack on Israel was a "warning" after the Israeli strike on Beirut earlier in the day, threatening wider strikes in the event of new aggression.
The article presents statements from both Iranian and Israeli officials and reports on US diplomatic intentions without taking a side.
