Jerusalem, 7 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Iran launched two ballistic missiles toward northern Israel on Sunday night, marking its first direct attack since a ceasefire took effect on April 8. The missiles were successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
“Two ballistic missiles launched by Iran at northern Israel were successfully intercepted by air defenses a short while ago,” the military said.
Air raid sirens sounded in several waves across northern Israel, from the Hadera area to the Upper Galilee, sending residents to protected areas. The IDF said it was “working to intercept the missiles” as the attack unfolded.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The attack came after Iran threatened retaliation following Israeli strikes in Beirut’s Dahiya district. An Israeli official described the barrage as evidence that “the Iranian truce is over.”
In response to the security situation, the Home Front Command announced restrictions on civilian activities. Educational activities remain prohibited, while gatherings are limited to 200 people outdoors and 500 people indoors, provided participants can reach a standard protected area during an alert. Beaches have been closed to the public.
The restrictions will remain in effect until 8 p.m. Monday.
Meanwhile, firefighters searched several locations in the Golan Heights following reports of interceptor fragments falling after the missile barrage. A spokeswoman for the Israel Fire and Rescue Service’s Northern District said crews were investigating multiple sites.
Officials also clarified that a fire reported in Tiberias was a garbage fire and was not related to the attack.
