- Iran released a video showing the launch of missiles.
- Iran launched a new wave of missiles targeting multiple areas across Israel on Tuesday.
- Israel suffered major damage and injuries from the missile strikes.
- Iran warned Israel it would widen strikes if civilian deaths in Gaza and Lebanon continued.
Why it matters: Israel's civilians suffer injuries and property loss, while Iran's missile wave demonstrates a concrete escalation that could force Israeli policymakers to reconsider their military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, shifting the regional security calculus. The attacks also underline Iran's willingness to expand its campaign beyond its borders, raising the stakes for any diplomatic efforts to halt civilian casualties.
