Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones toward Israel and several U.S.-allied locations in the Gulf, marking one of the largest attacks since the regional conflict began.
Air defense systems were activated across multiple areas as projectiles were detected heading toward Israeli territory and military sites linked to U.S. allies in the region. Several missiles and drones were intercepted before reaching their targets, according to military officials. Authorities said some debris from intercepted projectiles landed in nearby areas, causing limited damage. Emergency services were placed on high alert as warning sirens sounded in several locations.
The attack comes amid escalating tensions between Iran, Israel and the United States, with military exchanges spreading across multiple fronts including Lebanon, the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters. Analysts say the use of both missiles and drones highlights the growing scale of the confrontation and raises concerns that the conflict could continue expanding across the wider Middle East.
