As the conflict with Iran intensifies, we provide 24/7 live updates on missile launches from Iran and Lebanon towards Israel as part of Operation "Lion’s Roar."

The IDF has confirmed the elimination of a "propaganda operative" from the Revolutionary Guards. Yesterday, Haifa refineries also sustained damage.
All information is based on official security and rescue sources, as well as field reports under ongoing verification with the respective authorities.
We will continue to update on every major development, wishing for quieter days ahead.

He emphasized close coordination with the United States—including daily synchronization and operational planning—which is central to the broader campaign to neutralize regional threats. A recent Iranian long-range ballistic missile was also launched at a U.S. target, with missiles of the type threatening Europe as well.
