Confrontation: Iran-Israel Trade Fresh Military Strikes…

Military confrontations between Israel and Iran have resumed, with both sides exchanging missile and air strikes for the first time since a fragile ceasefire took effect last April.

The Israeli military announced on Monday that it had launched airstrikes targeting military sites in western and central Iran in response to Iranian missile launches. Iranian media confirmed explosions in several areas across the country.

On Sunday, Iran launched volleys of missiles toward Israel, marking its first direct attack since the April ceasefire. Iran stated that the strikes were in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut. Sirens sounded in Haifa, northern Israel, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.

Israel and the United States launched a military strike against Iran on February 28, targeting facilities, ministries, and commanders in Tehran and several other Iranian provinces. Iran responded by launching ballistic missiles and drones into Israeli territory.

On April 8, US President Trump announced his agreement to suspend the Israeli-American war on Iran for two weeks, following peace talks between America and Iran hosted by Pakistan to reach an agreement to end the war. On the 22nd of the same month, Trump announced the extension of the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, at the request of the mediators. WAFA
