India Today
The Israeli military said a barrage of missiles was launched from Iran while several projectiles, including drones, were fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon at roughly the same time. The attacks triggered red alert sirens across major Israeli cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, sending civilians rushing to shelters.
Iran and Hezbollah carried out their first coordinated attacks on Israel since the start of the latest conflict, Israeli authorities told CNN, in a significant escalation in a war that is rapidly spreading beyond the Middle East.
The Israeli military said a barrage of missiles was launched from Iran while several projectiles, including drones, were fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon at roughly the same time. The attacks triggered red alert sirens across major Israeli cities, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, sending civilians rushing to shelters.
According to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the first barrage was followed by several additional missile launches. The IDF said the coordinated strike involved one missile launched from Iran and six projectiles fired from Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shia militant group based in Lebanon, has long been one of Israel’s main regional adversaries.
"A short time later," the Israeli military said, Iran and Hezbollah launched a second coordinated wave of attacks.
In a further escalation, Israel confirmed that its forces had entered parts of southern Lebanon amid ongoing cross-border fighting with Hezbollah. The Israeli military released the first footage from its footholds in southern Lebanon, showing that Israeli troops had established positions inside Lebanese territory.
