TEL AVIV — Iran fired missiles toward Israel on Sunday for the first time since a ceasefire took effect in early April that mostly paused fighting in the U.S.-Israeli war with Tehran, Israel’s military said.
The apparent attack, which followed Israeli military strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs earlier in the day, threatened to further complicate efforts to broker a peace deal aimed at ending the Iran war.
Around 10 p.m. local time, the Israel Defense Forces said it had identified missiles launched from Iran. Another barrage was launched soon after, officials said, triggering sirens across the country.
The IDF intercepted all incoming missiles from Iran, it said.
“Israel will respond forcefully,” an Israeli official told The Washington Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
