Jerusalem, Feb 28: Israel has issued a nationwide alert after Iran reportedly launched missile strikes, amid a rapid escalation in hostilities following Israel’s earlier pre‑emptive attacks on Iranian targets, including in Tehran.
The Israeli military told citizens to stay in protected areas and remain alert for air raid sirens, as the country braces for possible follow‑up attacks. The move comes hours after Israel, in coordination with the United States, struck several sites inside Iran, with explosions heard in central Tehran and in other cities, according to regional media reports.
Iranian state sources claimed the missile launches were in response to what Tehran described as unprovoked aggression by Israel. World capitals are closely tracking the situation, warning that the tit‑for‑tat strikes could spiral into a wider regional conflict.
