Iran Launches Missiles Toward Israel After US-Israel Strike On Tehran: Israeli Military

New Delhi: This news reflects the latest and serious situation of increasing tension between Iran and Israel-America. On Saturday, Israel and the United States launched a coordinated air and missile attack against Iran, sending explosions and smoke plumes across Tehran and other cities. In response, Iran fired missiles towards Israel, due to which the situation on the border has become even more sensitive. Regarding this whole situation, the Israeli Army has instructed citizens to stay in safe places and has increased security.

How was Iran attacked?

Israel and America launched a joint military action together on 28 February 2026. The goal of the operation was said to be to block Iran's military and missile infrastructure, including cities such as Tehran, Qom, Isfahan and Karaj. The Israeli defense minister described the attack as a "preventive attack" and said it was an attempt to pre-emptively neutralize Iran's missile capabilities and military threat.

How did Iran hit back?

Within hours of the attacks, Iran fired missiles towards Israel, which Israeli air defense systems were activated to intercept. The Israeli military says Iranian missiles were also fired in their direction, although initial reports have not confirmed major damage or casualties.

A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward Israel.

Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat. In the past few minutes, the Home Front Command has sent a precautionary directive directly to mobile phones in the relevant areas.

What was the situation in Tehran?

According to local people and media reports, sounds of explosions were heard in many areas including Tehran and thick smoke was seen in the sky. Communication services and mobile networks were also affected in some parts. Although the partial account of the loss is not yet clear, there is an atmosphere of fear in the capital and surrounding areas.

How did security tighten in Israel?

After the attack, Israel has declared high alert and emergency in its country. Air raid sirens sounded in many cities and citizens were asked to stay near safe places. Security agencies in major cities such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are on alert to respond to any possible retaliatory attack or missile attack.

International reaction and what next?

Amidst this major military action and retaliatory missile attack, many countries have advised their citizens to remain alert. India has issued its own advisory, stating that Indian citizens in Israel and Iran should be extremely cautious and follow safety instructions. Experts believe that if Iran retaliates and attacks on a large scale, it could give rise to the possibility of a wider conflict or regional war.

This tension, which has been increasing for one and a half weeks, has now emerged in the form of fresh attacks and missiles, due to which the security picture of the Middle East has become even more complex. The next moves of both sides will decide whether this remains just a skirmish or turns into a major conflict.
