Escalation in Israel-Iran Conflict as Missile Attacks Intensify
Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical level following Iran's launch of dozens of ballistic missiles into Israel, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict. Reports indicate that Iran has fired over 200 missiles in response to the recent killings of Hezbollah and Hamas leaders. The Israeli military has confirmed the missile attacks, which resulted in air raid sirens sounding across the country, though initial reports suggest no casualties have been documented. Israeli officials have vowed to retaliate, stating this attack will have consequences. The situation remains volatile, with the US warning of severe implications if more strikes occur and asserting its support for Israel's right to defend itself. As military actions continue, oil prices have surged amid fears of further conflict.
