Iran launches missiles at Israel, escalating tensions after Beirut strike

On June 7, Iran launched missiles at Israel in response to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, marking the first such attack since the April ceasefire. The bombardment, which included at least ten ballistic missiles, was intercepted by Israel's defense systems, though some projectiles reached their targets. Israeli authorities reported casualties and damage, while Iran framed the attack as a necessary reprisal. The incident has reignited fears of a broader regional conflict, with Iran's allies in Syria and Lebanon potentially involved. The attack also coincides with rising oil prices, as markets react to the heightened tensions.
