Iran attacks Israel for the first time since the Middle East truce. Tehran fired several missiles against Israel on Sunday, which said it intercepted them, breaking the ceasefire. Iran presented these attacks as “warning”, in retaliation for an Israeli bombing of the southern suburbs of Beirut.

A missile was launched from Yemen, according to Israel. The Israeli army said on Monday that it had identified a missile strike towards Israeli territory from Yemen, where the Houthi rebels support Iran. Yemen’s Houthi rebels support Iran in the war against the United States and Israel. They had launched missiles several times towards Israel at the end of March and the beginning of April, before the ceasefire was established.

#MIDDLE_EAST Shots coming from Iran had already been detected yesterday evening, before Israeli bombings this morning. This is the first time that direct missile exchanges between Israel and Iran have taken place since the April 8 ceasefire. Follow our live stream.

Tehran presented these attacks as a “warning”, in retaliation for an Israeli bombing on the southern suburbs of Beirut, stronghold of the pro-Iranian Islamist movement Hezbollah, leaving two dead and 20 injured despite a truce theoretically concluded between Lebanon and Israel but widely flouted. While the United States strives to dissociate the two fronts, for Iran, they are in fact inseparable.
