(MENAFN) Iran launched a fresh missile barrage at Israel on Tuesday, sending air raid sirens wailing across central parts of the country in the latest escalation of a rapidly intensifying regional conflict.

Israeli media reported that air defense systems successfully intercepted at least one of the incoming missiles. Authorities have yet to confirm any casualties or structural damage from the strike.

The attack marks another retaliatory move by Tehran following a joint U.S.-Israeli military offensive against Iran that was launched on Feb. 28 — an operation that has since claimed more than 1,340 reported lives.

In the weeks since, Iran has responded with relentless waves of drones and missiles, striking not only Israeli territory but also Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states where American forces are stationed. The campaign has left a trail of casualties and widespread infrastructure destruction, while simultaneously rattling global aviation networks and financial markets.

Tuesday’s strike signals no sign of de-escalation as the conflict continues to draw in neighboring nations and reverberate far beyond the immediate battlefield.
