- Arad declared a state of emergency after an Iranian missile struck the southern Israeli city, with at least 70 people being treated for injuries according to Israeli media
- Iran also struck Bahrain and Jordan in retaliation for US attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, per a breaking news ticker on the page
Why it matters: At least 70 people wounded by a single Iranian missile on a southern Israeli city shows direct kinetic impact on Israeli civilians, not just military targets. The strike is part of a wider Iranian retaliation that also hit Bahrain and Jordan, showing Tehran is broadening its response beyond Israel after US attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
