War: Iran fires missiles at Israel

Iran on Sunday fired ballistic missiles at northern Israel for first time since April ceasefire

The Israeli military confirmed this on Sunday, noting that it was the first of such attack since a ceasefire paused the US-Israeli war with Iran two months ago.

Earlier, Iranian officials threatened to retaliate after Israel bombarded the southern outskirts of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, part of an Israeli campaign against the Iranian ally Hezbollah.

At the time of filing this report, there were no immediate reports of casualties from the Iranian missile fire.

Recall that the United States and Israel attacked Iran in late February, waging a blistering air war for several weeks that killed thousands, mostly in Iran and Lebanon and rattled the global economy.

Iran responded by firing waves of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel and the United States’ Arab allies in the Persian Gulf.

Since early April, the three countries have been observing a shaky truce while President Donald Trump seeks to reach a deal with Iranian negotiators to end the war.

However, the talks have yet to reach a breakthrough, despite Trump’s repeated pronouncements that an agreement could be imminent.
