Iranian Missile Strikes Near Jerusalem, Says Israel’s Foreign Ministry

According to a statement by the Israel Foreign Ministry, Iran launched a missile attack targeting the Jerusalem area during Eid al-Fitr, one of the most significant holidays in the Islamic calendar.

The ministry stated that the strike took place while civilians were marking the holiday, highlighting the timing as particularly sensitive. Footage shared by officials appears to show an explosion near the city, with air defense systems attempting to intercept incoming projectiles.

Israeli authorities attributed the attack directly to Iran, describing it as a deliberate escalation. In its statement, the ministry also used strong language to condemn Iran’s leadership, framing the incident as evidence of what it called “the true face” of the regime.

The claim is based on an official government statement and accompanying footage. Independent verification from international news agencies has not yet been confirmed.
