Iran Launches Fresh missile barrage on Israel, targets Netanyahu's villa
Tel Aviv/Tehran: Iran launched a fresh wave of ballistic missiles targeting multiple locations in Israel on Sunday, hours after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly struck several areas across Tehran, including the headquarters of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry.
According to preliminary reports, Iran's latest missile attack — its third wave in less than 24 hours — targeted high-profile sites including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s family residence in Caesarea and the Hadera power plant. While there is no official confirmation yet on the extent of damage or casualties, the situation remains tense across the region.
The first two rounds of missile and drone attacks by Iran took place overnight, sending air-raid sirens across several Israeli cities and prompting the activation of missile defence systems. Sunday’s third wave appeared to be in direct retaliation to the IDF’s alleged strikes deep inside Iranian territory earlier in the day.
Israeli military officials have not commented in detail about the strikes inside Iran, but sources claimed the IDF targeted key government and intelligence installations in the heart of Tehran.
