Two air raid sirens were triggered within an hour across central Israel late Tuesday night, as eight missiles were launched from Iran in the latest escalation of hostilities. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that most of the missiles were intercepted, and no casualties have been confirmed.
The barrage set off alarms in several large communities stretching from the Shephelah to the Sharon region, including reports of direct hits in Sharon and Jerusalem. Emergency medical services, including Magen David Adom (MADA), confirmed there were no injuries in this round of attacks.
Trump Weighs U.S. Military Entry into Conflict
Amid rising tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering direct military involvement in support of Israel. The decision follows a phone call between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier tonight. That conversation was preceded by high-level security consultations in both capitals.
In Jerusalem, Netanyahu met with top ministers and security officials to assess the situation. Meanwhile, in Washington, President Trump convened his national security team for an emergency briefing. A public statement from the White House is expected later tonight.
No Casualties, But High Alert
This latest missile attack comes against the backdrop of a broader conflict that has intensified over the past week. Iran has launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure. While damage has been largely contained, both sides are bracing for further escalation.
Israeli air defenses remain on high alert, and the IDF continues to monitor for additional threats. The public has been urged to remain vigilant, particularly in central regions of the country.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an urgent security meeting with senior ministers and defense officials shortly after the attack. In parallel, U.S. President Donald Trump held a high-level security consultation in Washington.
The two leaders spoke directly following their respective meetings. Sources close to the Israeli government indicated that the conversation focused on potential coordinated military responses and diplomatic strategies.
A formal statement from President Trump is anticipated later tonight. U.S. officials suggest the President is weighing deeper American involvement, including the possibility of joining Israeli military operations against Iranian targets.
Background: Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates After Nuclear Site Strikes
Over 250 Missiles and Drones Launched Since June 13
This latest exchange follows a major escalation that began on June 13, when Iran launched over 150 ballistic missiles and more than 100 armed drones at Israeli targets. The offensive was in direct retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on multiple Iranian nuclear and military facilities.
Both sides have suffered casualties and infrastructure damage. While Iran has publicly called for a ceasefire and expressed willingness to return to nuclear negotiations, Israeli officials remain skeptical of Tehran’s intentions.
Trump Warns Iran
President Trump has intensified his rhetoric, urging civilians in Tehran to evacuate and warning the Iranian government of “severe consequences” should it refuse a renewed nuclear agreement. Speaking to reporters, Trump revealed the U.S. intelligence community has pinpointed the location of Iran’s Supreme Leader but emphasized that the U.S. would not take action “for now.”
As international concern mounts, world leaders are expected to address the growing regional crisis in upcoming emergency sessions at the United Nations and G7 summits.
