Iran fires ballistic missile wave at Kiryat Ata/Haifa — 1 injured, sirens across northern and central Israel

Iran launched a ballistic missile salvo targeting northern Israel on April 3, with IDF detection systems tracking the attack from Iranian territory. Magen David Adom (Israeli emergency services) confirmed that one person was injured by missile debris in Kiryat Ata, a city immediately northeast of Haifa. Warning sirens were activated not only in the immediate target zone but across central Israel, including Tel Aviv, Ashdod, and Ashkelon — indicating a broad-trajectory salvo designed to saturate Israeli air defence. IDF successfully intercepted the main salvo, but debris from the intercepts reached populated areas. The attack represents Iran's continued ability to strike northern Israel's population centres despite 35 days of US/Israeli strikes on Iranian launch infrastructure.
