Daily news highlights from the Middle East conflict have shocked the world again, as Iranian missiles struck two major Israeli cities, Tel Aviv and Haifa. This attack raises fears of a bigger war in the region.
Missile Strikes Hit Tel Aviv and Haifa
In a powerful and dangerous move, Iran launched missile attacks on Israel on Monday. The cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa were both hit hard. Several homes and buildings were destroyed, and fires broke out, especially near a power station close to Haifa’s port. Israeli media said three people were killed in the central region of the country, and many others were wounded.
In Haifa, around 30 people were injured, and emergency teams are still working to find survivors. Video clips shared online showed missiles flying over Tel Aviv, followed by loud explosions. Eyewitnesses said that residential buildings were struck directly.
This attack is part of Iran’s revenge for Israel’s earlier airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, which started last Friday. In response, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards used new missile technology that confused Israel’s advanced air defense system. They claim their missiles successfully hit their intended targets.
Key Points from the Attack:
- At least 10 Israelis have died, including children, in earlier strikes by Iran.
- Iran has lost at least 224 people, with 90% of them being civilians, according to Iran’s Health Ministry.
- Power stations in Haifa caught fire, adding more danger to the situation.
- Iran said the missile system they used made Israel’s defenses “fight themselves.”
G7 Leaders Concerned About Wider War
This major escalation has captured the attention of world leaders. The G7 summit, currently happening in Canada, has placed the Israel-Iran conflict as a top issue. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the world must stop Iran from building nuclear weapons and support Israel’s right to protect itself.
Before leaving for the summit, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters, “I hope there’s going to be a deal. I think it’s time for a deal. Sometimes they have to fight it out.” However, Iran told mediators from Qatar and Oman that it would not talk about a ceasefire while Israeli attacks continue.
First Daylight Attack and Economic Impact
This is the first time Iran launched a daylight missile attack on Israel. During the day on Sunday, Tel Aviv was rocked by explosions, followed by a night-time strike on Haifa, hitting a residential area in the mixed Jewish-Arab city.
In Bat Yam, a city near Tel Aviv, locals feared another night of terror. One resident, Shem, 29, said, “It’s very dreadful. It’s not fun. People are losing their lives and their homes.”
Meanwhile, in Iran, Israeli missiles struck a fuel depot, creating a huge fireball that lit up the night sky in Tehran. This has added new risks to global oil prices and Iran’s economy. Brent crude oil prices rose by 1% to $74.94 a barrel on Monday, and markets remained cautious.
U.S. Involvement and Veto
In a surprising development, Trump reportedly blocked an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. When asked about it, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to confirm or deny the report.
On Friday, Israel started the war with a surprise attack that killed top Iranian military commanders and damaged nuclear facilities. Iran responded by promising to “open the gates of hell.”
Two U.S. officials confirmed that American forces helped shoot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel. However, Trump denied that the U.S. had directly joined the attack. Still, he warned Iran not to expand its fight to include U.S. forces.
Nuclear Talks Cancelled
The latest round of nuclear talks between Iran and the U.S. was canceled. Iran said it would not negotiate under fire. While Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful, Western nations fear it could be used to build atomic weapons.
Daily news highlights from this conflict show how serious the situation is. With missile strikes, rising death tolls, and high tensions between world powers, the threat of a larger Middle East war is very real.
