Day 101: Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at Israel for First Time Since Ceasefire; Israel Strikes Back; 8 Killed in Tyre
Israel struck Beirut's Dahieh suburb on June 7, prompting Iran to fire ballistic missiles at Israel on June 7-8 — the first direct Iranian missile attack on Israel since the April 8 ceasefire. IDF said sirens sounded in northern Israel as 4 missiles were launched; all were intercepted. Israel then struck military targets in central and western Iran on the morning of June 8, its first strike on Iranian territory since the ceasefire, marking the war's 100th day. Iran also fired 7 missiles at Bahrain/Kuwait, which CENTCOM said were intercepted or missed key targets. Separately, an Israeli airstrike on Tyre, southern Lebanon, killed at least 8 and wounded 32, ahead of an IDF evacuation warning covering the whole city for the first time, including its Christian quarter. Iran announced a halt to attacks on Israel but warned of 'much more severe and crushing measures' if Israeli action in Lebanon continued.
