A second wave of Iranian missile strikes targeted Haifa and northern Israel, intensifying attacks.

Iran launched another wave of missile attacks on Israel late Saturday, following a major strike the previous day that killed three people, wounded dozens, and caused widespread damage in Tel Aviv.

According to Israel’s Channel 12, the latest barrage targeted the northern cities of Haifa and Krayot. Explosions were reported in Haifa, and preliminary reports from Yedioth Ahronoth confirmed that rockets struck both Haifa and Tamra. 

The Israeli Air Force said it intercepted dozens of missiles, including some before they reached Israeli airspace.

The Israeli ambulance service reported five injuries from rocket fire in the Haifa area. Local media also said a strategic facility near Haifa caught fire due to falling missiles.

Israel’s Channel 13 reported that the Israeli security cabinet has convened again in an underground shelter amid the renewed Iranian attacks.

The Israeli army confirmed the detection of missiles launched from Iran and stated that air defense systems were actively intercepting incoming threats. Residents were instructed to remain in protected areas until further notice.

Meanwhile, Iranian state television reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) air force had launched a combined assault on Israel using both ballistic missiles and drones.

Additionally, Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Israeli forces were simultaneously striking targets in Tehran and Yemen, and that air raid sirens were sounding across Israel.

On Friday, Israel—reportedly with tacit support from the US—launched a large-scale air campaign against Iran. 

Dubbed “Operation Rising Lion,” the offensive targeted nuclear facilities, missile sites, and killed several high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists.

In retaliation, Iran began “Operation True Promise 3,” launching a series of ballistic missile and drone attacks. 

Israeli media reported at least seven such waves so far, resulting in three deaths, 172 injuries, and extensive damage to infrastructure and vehicles.

  1. Trump-a.k.a., Dondolf Twitler, is an idiot for getting involved. He’s placed us all in direct jeopardy and danger of retaliation. YOU voted for that. He’s unpredictable and out of control. If this was some 3rd world country, America would invade at 3 AM and take him out. Iran has every right to defend itself, and they had already stated that they had no desire to have nukes, beyond non-war purposes. But who could blame them if they did? My US government is the only one to have ever used nukes in battle. Wasrael would definitely nuke Iran.
    More power to Iran, to hell with Wasrael. To a mental institution with Twitler…

  2. Israel is suffering a miniscule token of the suffering which it has inflicted on the hapless Palestinians….all because of a Hitler fascist Netanyahu…the suffers of a holocaust are systematically inflicting the same on Palestine. Israel is doomed to self-inflicted annihilation at the hand of all of the enemies it has created. If there is any consolation in this mess, it is that the people subjected to genocide did arise from the ashes and rise to nationhood. The Nazis were exterminated!
