Iran launches second missile wave against central Israel Wednesday afternoon — sustained two-salvo campaign on Day 19

Iran launched a second distinct missile barrage against central Israel on the afternoon of Day 19, separate from the overnight salvo that killed two in Ramat Gan and damaged Tel Aviv Savidor Central railway station and Ben-Gurion Airport. The IDF detected launches from Iran; at least one missile appeared to penetrate air defenses. The two-wave campaign — overnight then afternoon — demonstrates Iran capacity and intent to sustain continuous missile pressure on central Israel regardless of interception rates, as retaliation for the killing of Larijani, Khatib and Soleimani.
