Israel confirmed the incoming missile attack shortly after announcing fresh operations in Lebanon. Its military said it had launched new strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs against Hezbollah, the Iran-backed armed group.
The escalation follows a sharp increase in joint US-Israeli air operations on Wednesday, which focused on Iran’s security apparatus and other strategic assets.
The sustained bombardment has disrupted planned national events in Iran, including a scheduled mourning ceremony for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the outset of the conflict.
