Missile attacks

Y, a reserves member in Squadron 200, had been traveling abroad for several months before growing suspicious of an imminent Israeli-US strike on Iran.  

The incident marks the first time that NATO member Turkey, Iran's neighbor to the northwest, has been drawn into the expanding conflict between Iran and the US and Israel.

Israel isn’t the only target in this war. Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at neighboring Arab countries, striking critical infrastructure and civilian targets.

Smotrich admits that the fiscal deficit will now be more than 3.9% of GDP, the target in the proposed 2026 budget.

This attack marked Hezbollah's first action against Israel's northern regions since 2024, officially joining the conflict alongside Iran.

Following the barrage, Magen David Adom said its paramedics were dispatched to sites of reported missile impacts in central Israel.

Such specialized civic infrastructures filled life-and-death gaps during earlier rounds of fighting. What is striking now is less the novelty of the mobilization than its speed and normalization.

What began as a carefree Tel Aviv getaway ended with sirens, safe rooms, and long hours of waiting, a reminder of how fragile normal life can be in a city under threat.

The situation will be reassessed during the Purim holiday on Tuesday and Wednesday in accordance with ongoing security evaluations, the Education Ministry said.

Over 200 missiles were launched toward Israel as the joint Israel-US campaign continued to strike targets across the Islamic regime.
