JERUSALEM March 4, 2026 – Air raid sirens blared across Jerusalem and central Israel early Wednesday as Iran launched a fresh barrage of ballistic missiles, marking the latest escalation in the intensifying direct conflict between the two nations.
The development was first reported on X by BRICS News, stating: “JUST IN: Sirens sounding in Jerusalem and central Israel as Iran launches new wave of missiles.”
This latest volley comes amid an ongoing series of Iranian retaliatory strikes that began in late February following Israeli and U.S. military operations targeting Iranian sites. Multiple waves of missiles have already struck or landed near major Israeli cities, with previous attacks causing casualties and damage in areas including Tel Aviv, Beit Shemesh, and beyond.
Israeli air defence systems, including the Iron Dome and advanced interceptors, were activated immediately. Heavy explosions were heard as missiles and debris fell in central Israel, though initial reports indicate no immediate casualties from this specific wave. Residents were urged to seek shelter as emergency services responded to potential impact sites.
The situation remains fluid. Israel has vowed continued responses, while the broader conflict has raised fears of wider regional instability involving multiple actors.
Life News Agency is closely monitoring developments through official channels and will provide real-time updates as more information emerges on casualties, damage, or further strikes.
This is a developing story.
