Iran launches fresh morning barrage at central Israel — no injuries from this salvo
·Central Israel
Iran launched a morning barrage at central Israel on Day 17 — the third of four missile salvos launched on Day 17. No injuries were reported from this salvo. The single Day 17 injury was caused by a concurrent Iranian cluster munitions strike. Times of Israel confirmed 4 total Iranian missile salvos on Day 17.
Iran launched a fresh barrage of missiles at central Israel on the morning of March 16, the Jerusalem Post reported at 10:32 AM Israel time (08:32 UTC). No injuries were reported in the attack. Israeli air defense systems responded to the barrage.
The morning strike is the third distinct Iranian missile attack against Israel documented on Day 17 alone — following two overnight salvos that also produced no injuries. The continued launch cadence contradicts Trump's claim that Iran's military has been 'decimated' and that the country has 'no air defense whatsoever.' Central Israel includes Tel Aviv and the country's main population and economic centers.
Israeli Foreign Minister Saar separately denied reports of a ballistic missile interceptor shortage. Cumulative Israeli civilian casualties from ballistic missile attacks since February 28 stand at 11 killed and at least 2,975 injured per JPost.
