Iran Launches Most Intense Missile and Drone Attack on Israel and the Gulf
In a serious escalation, the Iranian armed forces launched the most intense wave of missiles and drones this morning, Wednesday, March 11, 2026, since the beginning of the war against Israel and several Gulf countries.
Media reports confirmed that most of the missiles were intercepted or fell in uninhabited areas, while minor injuries were recorded in Israel.
* Comprehensive Escalation in Israel and the Gulf
The Times of Israel reported that the Israeli army detected multiple batches of missiles launched from Iran, and air defense systems worked to intercept them.
Sirens sounded in Jerusalem, and some explosions were recorded near Tel Aviv, prompting residents to head to shelters.
The "Magen David Adom" service reported that the number of injuries was low, most of which occurred while people were heading to protected areas.
In Gulf countries, the Saudi Ministry of Defense announced the interception of seven ballistic missiles and seven drones, while Kuwait stated that four drones were intercepted and another fell in open areas, while sirens sounded in Bahrain in anticipation of any attack.
* Targeting Vital Centers
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced that the attacks targeted a satellite communications center in Haifa, Israeli military bases, in addition to American targets in the Middle East, including Iraqi Kurdistan and the naval base of the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
The Revolutionary Guard confirmed its determination to continue the attacks until achieving "the complete surrender of the enemy."
* Israeli Reactions
In response, Israel launched a wave of strikes on Iranian and Lebanese targets, according to the Israeli army, as part of the response to the ongoing attacks from Iran.
This new escalation comes at a sensitive time as the region witnesses rising tensions between Iran and Israel, raising fears of the conflict expanding to neighboring Gulf areas, amid international warnings of the consequences of continued attacks.
