Middle East: Another Round of Rockets from Iran Hitting Israel
Israel Faces Rockets Launched by Iran Once More - Iranian-backed militants in Gaza launch more rockets towards Israel, prompting Israeli Defense Forces to retaliate with air strikes.
Hey there! Here's the lowdown on the latest tense situation between Israel and Iran.
Israel got slammed with rockets, allegedly from Iran, once again during the wee hours of the night, as per the military's announcement on Telegram. They quickly activated their defense systems to fend off the threat, advising residents to duck and cover until things cooled down a bit. In case you were wondering, only exiting the shelter is cool if you get the green light from the higher-ups.
Remember the ruckus a while ago when those rockets from Iran claimed three lives in the northern Israeli town of Tamra? While everyone was still reeling from that, news broke about Israeli attacks on Iranian targets. Well, things are never boring, right?
Now, let's take a quick trip down memory lane. In 2023, when things first started heating up, Hezbollah started chucking rockets at Israel following Hamas's attack. This led to Israel hitting back hard with airstrikes and shelling, causing a full-blown conflict by September 2024.
If you think things slowed down after that, you'd be wrong. In April 2024, Iran let loose one whopper of an aerial barrage comprising over 300 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones. Thanks to a U.S.-led coalition, Israel managed to fend off this attack. Fast forward to October 2024, and Iran was at it again, launching about 200 ballistic missiles. However, these attacks were also repelled by US and Israeli forces. A ceasefire finally put a halt to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in November 2024.
But if you thought things had calmed down, you'd be missing the boat. On June 13, 2025, Israel's Air Force targeted Iran's nuclear capabilities, only to have Iran retaliate with hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones, aiming for major Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa. Since then, Iran has kept things interesting with regular missile attacks, usually at night, as part of their response to Israeli strikes on Iranian soil. These attacks have caused quite a commotion and fear across Israel.
The Israeli Air Force has been staying one step ahead, continuing its relentless strikes on Iranian targets, aiming to disrupt their military capabilities. Their air defense systems have also been active in countering Iranian missile and drone attacks, with a little help from international pals like the U.S.
