Tensions in the Middle East have escalated sharply as Israel faces a multi-front security threat, with a missile launched from Yemen, sirens sounding in Jerusalem, and a series of Israeli airstrikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites.
This post brings you a detailed breakdown of everything happening, backed by trusted sources like IDF, IAEA, BBC, and Liveuamap.
๐จ Sirens in Jerusalem After Missile Fired from Yemen
Earlier today, air raid sirens were triggered in Jerusalem, causing panic among residents. According to Israelโs Red Alert system, the warning was later deactivated โ but not before the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a rocket was launched from Yemen toward Israeli territory.
The IDF released a statement saying it was โactively intercepting the threat,โ and urged civilians to stay calm and follow emergency instructions.

Meanwhile, Jerusalem District Police posted on Telegram that officers were deployed to scan for missile debris and possible impact zones around the city.
๐งท Nationwide Public Safety Advisory for Israeli Citizens
Following the missile threat, the IDF issued a nationwide advisory instructing all citizens to take the following precautions:
- โ Remain close to bomb shelters or reinforced safe zones
- โ Avoid public gatherings, events, or large crowds
- ๐ซ Limit movement in open spaces or vulnerable areas
- โ ๏ธ If sirens sound again, immediately enter a protected area and stay there until official clearance is announced
These measures are designed to reduce civilian casualties in the event of further attacks, as the situation remains fluid.
๐ฃ Israeli Strikes Target Iranian Nuclear & Military Sites
At the same time, Israel launched a fresh wave of overnight airstrikes deep into Iranian territory, targeting key nuclear and military infrastructure.
๐ฏ Explosion Reported Near Fordow Nuclear Facility
The IRGC-linked Fars News Agency confirmed that two explosions were heard near the Fordow nuclear site, a secretive underground facility located around 32km northeast of Qom and just south of Tehran.
This facility has been a major point of global concern due to uranium particles enriched to 83.7% purity, close to weapons-grade levels โ previously reported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
๐ง Did you know?
The Fordow site is buried 100 meters underground, making it one of the most fortified nuclear facilities in the world.
๐ฅ Natanz Site Also Reportedly Hit
In addition to Fordow, Israeli forces reportedly struck the Natanz nuclear facility located in Iranโs Isfahan province. Natanz has long been known for advanced uranium enrichment operations and has previously been the target of cyberattacks and airstrikes.
The IAEA reported that while external radiation levels are stable, internal radioactive material will need proper protective handling to avoid contamination.
