After vowing retaliation against Israel for its attacks on southern Beirut, Lebanon, today, Iran fired ballistic missiles at northern Israel on Sunday, June 7, in what is the first direct attack by the Islamic Republic on Israeli territory since the April ceasefire.
According to the report by Associated Press, the attack marked a sharp escalation as the U.S. and Israeli war with Tehran reached its 100th day. Negotiations had been ongoing to end the war, but the issue of Lebanon — or more specifically, its inclusion in the peace deal — has been a major point of contention for both parties.
