Deadly Missile Strike Rocks Southern Israeli City
Early Tuesday morning, the southern Israeli city of Be'er Sheva was struck by an Iranian missile, leading to the tragic loss of four lives. The missile hit a residential building, causing significant destruction and igniting fires in the surrounding area.
Renewed Missile Barrage Amid Ceasefire Talks
This new wave of missile attacks came shortly after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated that Tehran might halt its assaults if Israel ceased its own airstrikes. Despite this conditional offer, Iran proceeded to launch multiple missile barrages against Israel, with Iranian state media reporting five separate waves of missile launches.
These strikes occurred just moments before a ceasefire was expected to take effect between the two countries, intensifying tensions in the region.
