- Iran launched a missile attack on the Israeli city of Arad that injured at least 116 people, per Al Jazeera's reporting.
- Al Jazeera published drone footage on 27 March 2026 showing the extent of the damage in Arad days after the strike.
- A breaking news ticker on the same page reports Iran also struck Bahrain and Jordan in retaliation for US attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters: The Arad strike, which injured at least 116 people, represents a documented direct Iranian missile hit on an Israeli city, and the page's breaking ticker tying it to simultaneous strikes on Bahrain and Jordan shows the conflict has expanded beyond a single bilateral front to involve US forces in the Hormuz theater.
