Iran fires missiles at Israel in retaliation for strikes

Iran launched missiles toward Israel early Saturday morning in retaliation for earlier strikes on its territory. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed detecting incoming missiles and activated sirens nationwide while intercepting threats and conducting counterstrikes. The escalation follows US President Donald Trump's announcement of 'major combat operations' against Iran to neutralize 'imminent threats' to American interests. Trump described the US military action as defending against the 'Iranian regime.' This marks the first direct Iranian missile attack on Israel since the conflict began.
