At least two people have been killed after a missile fired from Iran struck central Israel, marking another escalation in the ongoing Middle East conflict.

Emergency services confirmed that the victims died from injuries sustained during the strike, which reportedly hit a site in central Israel. Several others were injured, with responders deployed across multiple impact locations.

Authorities said air raid sirens sounded across parts of the country before the strike, allowing many residents to seek shelter. However, the missile impact still caused casualties and damage to infrastructure.

The attack is part of a broader exchange of hostilities between Iran and Israel, with both sides carrying out strikes in recent days. Reports indicate that Iran has launched waves of missiles in retaliation for earlier attacks targeting its military and political leadership.

In a related development, similar missile barrages have previously caused deaths and injuries in central Israel, highlighting the vulnerability of populated areas despite advanced air defense systems.

The ongoing conflict has heightened tensions across the region, with fears of further escalation involving multiple countries. Analysts warn that continued strikes could deepen instability and increase civilian casualties.

Officials have urged residents to remain alert and follow safety instructions as the situation continues to evolve.
