Iran Hits Israel With Missiles In Major Ceasefire Test

Iran has launched a wave of missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire between Israel, Iran and the US came into effect.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says the attack marked the beginning of “a full week of continuous strikes.”

Israel says it intercepted the missiles in northern Israel, there are no reports of injuries.

Earlier on Sunday, Israel said it struck Hezbollah targets in southern Beirut, prompting threats of an Iranian response.

A spokesperson for the Israeli military says Iran has made a “grave mistake.”

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Brig Gen Effie Defrin, said said Iran has made a “grave mistake”.

In a briefing, delivered in Hebrew, he says the Israeli military “will not allow continued fire” from Iran towards Israel’s citizens.

He says Israel is “prepared for the possibility of additional fire”.

Air defense systems are “deployed across the entire country” and the IDF’s chief of general staff is holding a “situational assessment” following the attacks, Defrin adds.

The IDF will continue to operate throughout Lebanon and will deepen the blow to the Hezbollah terrorist organisation.”

The tension between Iran, Israel and the US over Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon has been building in intensity in recent days.
