At least three of the missiles contained cluster munitions, impacting in at least 10 locations in Haifa and around 30 other locations in central Israel.
A missile fragment separately impacted a building in Haifa, killing four people.
Coordinated Effort with Hezbollah and Houthis
The attack was part of a coordinated effort with Hezbollah and the Houthis. Sources confirmed that Iran has launched multiple barrages at Israel in recent hours. Avichay Adraee, an Israeli media correspondent, said that Iran had launched around 35 missiles at Israel as of 5:42 AM ET.
Iran has reportedly launched Emad and Ghadr missiles at Israel, which have been used in previous conflicts, including in June 2025.
Casualties and Damage
The missile attack has caused significant damage and casualties in Israel. Witnesses said that the impact of the missiles was felt in at least 10 locations in Haifa and around 30 other locations in central Israel.
Government sources said that the attack has resulted in the deaths of at least four people, with many more injured.
The attack has also caused significant damage to buildings and infrastructure in the affected areas.
Historical Context
The attack is the latest escalation in the conflict between Iran and Israel. The two countries have been engaged in a series of tit-for-tat attacks in recent months, with Iran launching missile attacks on Israel and Israel responding with airstrikes on Iranian targets.
The conflict has been fueled by tensions over Iran's nuclear program and its support for militant groups in the region.
The April cease-fire had brought a temporary halt to the violence, but the latest attack has raised concerns that the conflict may be escalating once again.
Human Impact
The attack has had a significant human impact, with many people affected by the violence.
Experts said that the use of cluster munitions has increased the risk of civilian casualties, as the munitions can cause widespread damage and harm to people in the surrounding area.
The attack has also caused significant disruption to daily life, with many people forced to seek shelter and avoid affected areas.
The international community has condemned the attack, calling for an end to the violence and a return to diplomacy.
