U.S. — March 24, 2026 (New York time) — Iran launched another wave of missile attacks on Israel early Tuesday morning, injuring at least six people in Tel Aviv, just one day after President Trump announced that both sides were engaged in talks to end the conflict. 4 According to reports from Israel, a projectile carrying approximately 100 kg of explosives struck Tel Aviv, damaging multiple buildings and vehicles. Three structures were severely affected. In northern and southern Israel, Iran continued to launch missiles, though no major casualties were reported. However, one man was injured after stepping on missile debris—a fortunate outcome compared to when more than 100 Israelis were injured in a previous strike. Footage from Israeli media showed the air defense system successfully intercepting several targets near Haifa, though a suburban home was still damaged. Simultaneously, missiles were detected flying toward Jerusalem, forcing members of the Israeli Parliament to flee to shelters. The new wave of attacks occurred just hours after President Trump announced a five-day suspension of strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure to facilitate diplomatic exchanges. Nevertheless, the U.S. military continued other operations targeting Iran, such as U.S. B-2 bombers directly striking strategic missile bases. Meanwhile, airstrikes were reported in the southern suburbs of Beirut following an Israeli evacuation order, a development sharply contrasting with the expectations set in President Trump's previous speech. Iran dismissed the claims of diplomatic talks, asserting that the U.S. statements were intended to stabilize energy markets and buy time for military planning. Tensions continue to escalate as both sides provide conflicting information regarding the progress of negotiations while military strikes continue in tandem.
