HUGE EXPLOSIONS In Israel As Iran Fires 5 Missile Salvos At Jerusalem Within One Hour | Watch

Iran launched a major overnight missile barrage targeting Israel. According to reports, multiple ballistic missile salvos were fired toward Jerusalem and northern parts of the country within a short span of time. The Israeli military said it detected and responded to the incoming threats, while sirens sounded across several cities. The strikes are being seen as retaliation after Israel’s reported attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field, one of the world’s largest natural gas reserves. Explosions were reported near key locations, including the northern port city of Haifa, though initial assessments suggest limited damage. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had acted independently in earlier strikes and signaled readiness for further action if needed.
