Iran strikes northern Israel with ballistic missiles, Hezbollah fires rockets

Iran has launched ballistic missile strikes on northern Israel, with concurrent rocket fire from Hezbollah in Lebanon. Rescue teams and medics are on the ground in Israel responding to reports of impact in the northern region. Visuals show Iranian ballistic missiles being fired over Israel and Hezbollah rocket fire hitting northern areas. Despite the attacks, no injuries have been reported so far, credited to Israel's strong defence systems including the Iron Dome. The strikes come amid ongoing cross-border hostilities, with Israeli forces conducting retaliatory strikes towards Beirut in response to attacks from Lebanon. Iran has been known to support proxy groups including Hezbollah and the Houthis. The escalating conflict has created a tense security environment across the region, with missiles and drones also affecting cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
