Iran launches waves of ballistic missile strikes on Israel in what is described as the first direct attack since a ceasefire period, according to multiple outlets. The reporting across Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and Brisbane Times says the strikes involve ballistic missiles and that they occur as Iran carries out direct action against Israel. In response, Israel launches retaliatory action, with the outlets describing an exchange of missile fire between the two sides. The accounts are aligned on the core sequence: an initial set of Iranian ballistic missile attacks is followed by an Israeli response, marking an escalation after the ceasefire. While the sources provided do not include additional specifics such as locations, casualty figures, or the types of Israeli systems used, they consistently characterize the event as a direct resumption of missile exchanges between Iran and Israel. Overall, the coverage emphasizes the return to direct attacks after the ceasefire and the immediate prompt retaliation from Israel.
