Iran fired missiles at Israel for the first time since the ceasefire began in April, in response to Israel's continuous attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Donald Trump called on Iran to return to negotiations.
On Sunday, 7 Jun 2026 GMT+7, the Iranian military launched missile attacks against Israel for the first time since the ceasefire was declared in early April. This marks a new escalation of tensions after weeks of negotiations aimed at ending the conflict between the U.S.-Israel alliance and Iran.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran claimed it successfully launched cruise missiles targeting the Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel.
The Israeli military reported that its air defense systems intercepted at least three waves of incoming missiles. One source stated that at least 10 ballistic missiles were intercepted. An Israeli official told CNN that Israel will respond to the attack with "severe" measures.
Iran's state-run Press TV reported that the attack is linked to Israel's military operations targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. It warned that if Israel continues strikes in southern Lebanon and Beirut, more severe attacks against Israel will follow.
U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News that Iran needs to "return to the negotiating table and make a joint agreement" following the latest attacks on Israel. He emphasized that such attacks "do not help the negotiation process progress smoothly."
Trump also expressed to Fox News his "displeasure" over prior Israeli strikes in Beirut. Sources in Israel and close to the events revealed that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke directly by phone after Iran's missile assault.
Israeli military spokesperson Effi Deferin said Israel will "intensify its attacks" against Hezbollah in retaliation for Iran's missile barrage.
Iran's attack prompted Clalit Health Services, Israel's largest medical provider, to announce relocating hospital operations to underground and protected facilities. Meanwhile, the government ordered nationwide school closures on Monday.
