Israel Launches Fresh Strikes On Tehran And Beirut As Iran Fires Missiles At Tel Aviv

Israel launches fresh strikes on Tehran and Beirut as Iran fires missiles at Tel Aviv Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes on Iran’s capital Tehran and parts of Beirut, Lebanon, while Iran says it has responded by firing missiles toward Tel Aviv, as the conflict between the two countries enters its seventh day.

Explosions were reported across Tehran overnight as Israeli forces said they were targeting key Iranian military infrastructure, including missile launch sites and defence systems. The Israeli military described the attacks as part of a broader campaign to weaken Iran’s ability to launch further strikes.

Israeli airstrikes were also carried out in Lebanon, particularly in the southern suburbs of Beirut, an area known to host strongholds of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. Residents had earlier been told to evacuate large parts of the area before the attacks began. The strikes targeted what Israel described as Hezbollah command centres and facilities linked to drone and missile operations.

The bombardment marks a significant escalation in the conflict, which has spread beyond Israel and Iran to involve several countries and armed groups across the region.Iran said it had responded to the Israeli attacks by firing missiles toward Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel. Air-raid sirens sounded in several Israeli cities as missile defence systems were activated.

Tehran has warned that it will continue retaliatory strikes if Israeli attacks persist, describing its actions as self-defence against what it calls aggression. The fighting began after Israel launched a large-scale military campaign against Iranian targets, an operation reportedly aimed at crippling Iran’s missile programme and preventing it from developing nuclear weapons.

Since then, both sides have exchanged missile and drone attacks, raising fears of a wider regional war. The violence has also drawn in Iran-allied groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon. Rising casualties and regional concern Hundreds of people have been reported killed or injured across the region as the conflict intensifies, with infrastructure and military installations among the main targets. International leaders have called for restraint amid concerns that continued escalation could destabilise the Middle East and disrupt global energy supplies The United Nations and several world powers have urged both sides to step back from further attacks and seek a diplomatic solution.

However, with both Israel and Iran vowing to continue their military campaigns, there are growing fears that the conflict could widen further in the coming days.
