Iran Launches Retaliatory Missile Barrage at Israel

Iran launched a massive barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israeli attacks on Iranian military and nuclear facilities, with explosions reported over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Emergency services stated at least 15 people were injured and significant damage occurred to buildings. Israel's air defense systems intercepted many missiles, but some reached their targets, prompting civilian warnings. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility, stating dozens of Israeli military sites were targeted in a 'crushing and precise' response. Israeli officials reported ongoing counterstrikes against Iranian positions. The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting as both nations exchanged accusations of escalating the conflict, raising concerns of broader regional destabilization.
