Israel detects new Iranian missile launch
Jerusalem, March 23 (AFP) Mar 23, 2026
Iran fired missiles at Israel early Tuesday, the Israeli military said, hours after US President Donald Trump announced Washington had held talks with an unnamed Iranian official -- a report denied by Tehran.

The military said the latest Iranian missile barrage was aimed at northern Israel and that it was "working to intercept the threat".

Israel's Magen David Adom emergency services said it had no immediate reports of casualties following the barrage, but had dispatched paramedics to one area where a reported impact was received.

Roughly 20 minutes after the launch report, the military's Home Front Command cleared people to leave their shelters.

On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he spoke with Trump and relayed that the president believed US-Israeli military gains in Iran could be converted into a negotiated agreement that protects Israel's interests.
