Iran fires missiles at Israel in response to attacks

Sirens echoed across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for recent Israeli airstrikes. This dramatic escalation follows what Israel called Operation Rising Lion, a massive offensive that targeted Iran’s nuclear facility at Natanz and eliminated top military commanders. In response, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei declared that Israel had “triggered a war,” warning that “life will become bitter” for those responsible.

Footage from Tel Aviv shows explosions lighting up the night sky, with one missile reportedly breaching Israel’s air defense and striking the ground. The Israeli military confirmed the attacks, and images of damaged buildings began circulating shortly after.

This moment marks one of the most serious flashpoints in the region in years, with both sides vowing further responses. As the situation intensifies, Pulse Insider is on the ground with updates and analysis of what could be the beginning of a broader conflict in the Middle East.
