On Sunday night, Iran fired about 10 missiles at northern Israel, escalating tensions in the region after a two-month ceasefire. This attack was reportedly in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Beirut. U.S. President Donald Trump intervened, advising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against retaliating, as he believed it could jeopardize negotiations with Iran that were nearing a deal. The missile attack, which occurred around 10 p.m., did not result in any injuries, although a 79-year-old woman was treated for a head injury sustained while seeking shelter. The Israeli military intercepted the missiles, and the IDF Chief of Staff indicated readiness to respond but awaited political approval. Following the attacks, the Israeli government closed schools nationwide and limited large gatherings, while Iran closed its airspace in anticipation of potential Israeli retaliation. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem also ordered its staff to shelter in place due to the escalating security situation. This incident marked the first Iranian missile attack on Israel since a ceasefire was announced in April, highlighting the fragile state of peace in the region.
