Iran's 9th barrage aimed at northern Israel lands in Lebanon — first Iranian missile to strike Lebanese territory

The ballistic missile Iran launched at northern Israel in its 9th Day 23 barrage apparently struck Lebanese territory, per IDF assessment — the first time an Iranian ballistic missile has hit Lebanon during the current war. It is unclear whether Iran was targeting Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon or an Israeli target and the missile fell short. The 9th missile triggered sirens in northern border communities; no injuries reported. The incident marks a new operational dimension: Iranian missiles now posing a risk to Lebanese civilians and potentially to IDF forces operating south of the Litani.
