An Iranian ballistic missile attack on Rishon LeZion, Israel, killed two and caused significant damage. The attack followed Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, escalating the conflict. While Israel's air defenses intercepted many missiles, some breached defenses, causing casualties and widespread damage exceeding previous clashes. Despite the devastation, many Israeli citizens interviewed supported the preemptive strikes, citing the need to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
