After an 8-hour lull following the overnight central Israel attack, Iran launched a new ballistic missile attack targeting southern Israel. Sirens sounded across the south. The missile was likely intercepted by air defenses per initial IDF assessment. No injuries reported. Day 28's second salvo marks Iran's continued missile campaign despite overnight IDF strikes on BM production sites in Tehran and western Iran.

The IDF detected a new ballistic missile attack from Iran at approximately 07:50 UTC on 27 March 2026, the second ballistic missile salvo of Day 28. The attack came after a lull of nearly eight hours following the first Day 28 salvo that targeted central Israel overnight. Sirens sounded across southern Israel. Initial IDF assessments indicated the missile was likely intercepted by air defenses. No injuries were reported. The renewed salvo comes despite overnight IAF strikes on Iranian BM production sites in Tehran and ballistic missile launchers in western Iran — underscoring that Iran retains sufficient stockpile and launch capacity to sustain the campaign even as production facilities are destroyed.
