Haifa, Israel, faced significant disruptions as missile attacks targeted key areas in the city. Explosions caused damage to parts of the electric grid and affected operations near industrial sites, including an oil refinery and the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems facility.
The Israeli Iron Dome defense system was activated to intercept incoming threats, though some missiles penetrated the protective shield. Local authorities reported several injuries, and emergency teams are responding to the situation.
In response, Israeli forces carried out airstrikes on selected military sites in Iran. Both countries have reported casualties, and the events have escalated regional tensions.
Officials are urging residents to follow safety protocols, stay informed through local alerts, and avoid non-essential travel in affected areas. International organizations continue to monitor the situation closely and are calling for restraint from all parties.
The situation remains fluid, and authorities have emphasized that updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
