Israeli defence system intercepts Iranian missiles over Haifa

In February 2026, Israeli air defense systems intercepted Iranian missiles over Haifa. The missile strikes were reportedly a retaliatory action by Tehran for prior attacks by the United States and Israel on multiple Iranian cities. During the incident, air raid sirens sounded in Jerusalem, and residents sought shelter as explosions were heard throughout the city. The event marks an escalation of tensions in the region. The attacks and counter-attacks highlight the ongoing conflict between the involved nations.
