Iran Breaks Ceasefire With Direct Missile Strike on Israel

Iran's military launched ballistic missiles at Israel on June 7, 2024, breaking an April ceasefire. The strike came hours after Israeli attacks near Beirut and marked the first direct Iranian attack in months. Subsequent rounds in October—Iranian strikes followed by Israeli counter-strikes—have grown larger. Neither side appears to have found limits acceptable to both, raising the risk of further escalation.
