Israel Air Defences Activated as Iran Launches Missiles After Strikes
Jerusalem— Israel’s military said early Tuesday its air defence systems were activated to intercept missiles launched from Iran, shortly after announcing a wave of air strikes targeting Iranian territory.
The Israel Defense Forces said it had identified incoming missiles and was responding to the threat, confirming that defensive systems were operating to intercept them.
The exchange followed Israeli strikes described as a “wave” of air attacks on Iran, marking a further escalation in hostilities between the two countries.
No immediate details were provided on damage or casualties from the missile launches or interceptions.
The latest developments come amid intensifying cross-border attacks as the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to expand, raising concerns over broader regional escalation.
