Iran launches new missile strikes on Israel as cross-border attacks continue into day 25

Share On

Iran launched a series of missile strikes targeting Israel from Monday night into Tuesday, marking the 25th day of ongoing hostilities involving Iran, Israel and the United States.

According to statements attributed to Israeli authorities, Iran carried out seven missile attacks during that period. Israeli officials did not immediately release independent verification of damage or casualties from the latest strikes.

In response, Israel continued its counter-offensive operations. The Israeli Air Force said it struck more than 50 Iranian-linked targets overnight, including missile launch sites and military facilities.

Israeli military officials claim that since the start of the conflict, more than 3,000 targets inside Iran have been hit. According to the military, recent strikes included ballistic missile storage facilities and several government-linked buildings.

Those buildings reportedly included two sites associated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a structure linked to the country’s intelligence ministry. The claims could not be independently verified, and Iranian authorities had not publicly responded to the specific allegations at the time of publication.

The escalation reflects continued cross-border military activity with no confirmed timeline for de-escalation.
