Iran overnight ballistic salvo — central Israel, Jerusalem, northern Israel, West Bank

Iran launched an overnight ballistic missile salvo against Israel on Day 12, triggering sirens across central Israel, the Jerusalem area, northern Israel, and parts of the West Bank. The IDF detected a small number of missiles and issued an early warning for northern Israel as additional projectiles were launched mid-attack. All missiles were either intercepted or allowed to impact open areas. No injuries or direct impacts on populated areas were reported. The simultaneous targeting of central Israel, Jerusalem, and northern Israel represents Iran attempting to spread Israeli air defenses across multiple vectors — a tactical evolution from the earlier single-vector launches. Jerusalem sirens are politically and symbolically significant, even when missiles are intercepted. The overnight timing is designed to maximize psychological impact on the Israeli population and test air defense readiness during low-alert hours.
