Shafaq News- Middle East
Iran launched a new missile barrage toward Israel on Saturday, triggering nationwide alerts and air defense activation across several areas, according to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Jerusalem Post, citing sources, reported that 125 missiles were fired, with about 35 entering Israeli airspace. Israel’s Home Front Command activated warning sirens in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, the Sharon area, the Negev, communities near Gaza, and the Dead Sea after Israeli authorities detected incoming projectiles.

Earlier today, IRGC said it struck the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, along with US bases in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The statement also referenced attacks on military and security sites inside Israel under what Tehran calls “Operation True Promise 4.” The IRGC indicated that missile and drone operations remain underway and added that further details would follow. It also declared its intent to strike what it termed the “source of aggression” under what it framed as legitimate self-defense.
