Iran launches ballistic missiles at Israel for the first time since ceasefire

Iran fired several ballistic missiles toward Israel on the evening of June 7, marking its first direct attack on Israel since the fragile ceasefire reached in April 2026. According to the Israeli military, air raid sirens sounded across parts of northern Israel, while air defence systems were activated to intercept the incoming missiles. Israeli officials said the country had been placed on high alert. Reports indicate that the attack came in response to recent Israeli air strikes on Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh, an area widely regarded as a stronghold of Hezbollah. Iranian officials warned that further Israeli attacks on Lebanon could trigger stronger responses. No credible reports of casualties resulting from the missile attack have been released so far, and further details are still emerging.
