Iranian Missiles Kill 10, Injure 180 in Israel Amid Ongoing Iran-Israel Strikes

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated into intense missile exchanges characterized by Iran's strategic use of nighttime launches to maximize surprise and concealment, leveraging both solid and liquid-fueled missiles for operational advantage. Iranian missile strikes have caused significant civilian casualties in Israel, including a deadly attack in the coastal town of Bat Yam that killed at least six people and wounded many others, with the overall death toll from recent strikes reaching at least ten. Israel's retaliatory 'Operation Rising Lion' targeted over 100 of Iran's strategic sites, including nuclear and military facilities, prompting Iran's counterattack 'Operation True Promise III' involving over 150 ballistic missiles and 100 drones aimed at major Israeli cities, resulting in further Israeli casualties and infrastructure damage. While the conflict intensifies, some nearby regions, such as Beirut in Lebanon, display surreal scenes of normalcy with people partying despite missiles streaking across the night sky, highlighting contrasting civilian experiences amid the war. The escalating violence threatens to derail diplomatic efforts, casting uncertainty over the US-Iran nuclear deal. Both sides continue to engage in psychological and military warfare, underscoring the severe regional instability caused by this protracted confrontation.
