BREAKING: Iran Fires Missiles at Israel, Could Mark Return To War, Officials Say

Jun 7, 2026·3 min read

Iran launched at least 10 ballistic missiles toward northern Israel, with Israeli officials warning that any renewed Iranian attack on Israeli territory would be treated as a resumption of hostilities. It is not known yet if there were impacts, damage or casualties.

In anticipation of the strikes, seen as retaliation for Israeli strikes on Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon – themselves a response to ceasefire breaches – Israel canceled school on Sunday.

A senior Israeli official told Channel 13 that “Firing towards Israeli territory from Iran means a declaration of resumption of war.”

A senior Israeli diplomatic source also told News 14 that “If Iran attacks us, the response will reopen the war.”

The missile launches came as tensions between Israel and Iran remain high, with Israeli officials indicating that any attack would trigger a significant military response.

Shortly after the missiles were fired, President Trump told Fox News “What I would suggest to Iran: You’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough. Get back to the table and make a deal,” adding that the escalation has delayed what he said was an imminent passage of a deal between Iran and the US.

Netanyahu is reportedly under have pressure by many cabinet ministers to strike Iran, contrary to the instructions of President Trump.

President Trump told Axios reporter Barak Ravid: “I’m calling Netanyahu right now and telling him not to attack Iran in response.”

“The Iranian missile fire didn’t hit anyone. I hope Israel doesn’t respond. If Bibi attacks them back, this will just continue like it has for the last 47 years, or the last 3,000 years.” Trump added: “I’m going to call Bibi now and tell him not to respond. Each side has already done its part. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one.”

Meanwhile, Israeli Home Front Command gave permission for residents to leave their protected rooms, stating that the Iranian missile attack has ended.

IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin released a somewhat ambiguous statement, without mentioning a retaliation: “The IDF is strongly prepared for both defense and offense. The Iranian terrorist regime made a serious mistake by once again choosing terrorism. The Chief of Staff is currently conducting a situational assessment. We struck in the Dahieh area following Hezbollah’s relentless fire toward communities in northern Israel. The IDF will continue to operate in Lebanon as well. We will not allow continued attacks on the territory of the State of Israel. We are prepared for the possibility of additional fire directed at the State of Israel.”

Later, an IDF Spokesperson appeared to indicate that strikes were possible: The Chief of Staff is currently in a situation assessment with the General Staff Forum: “The IDF will strike the enemy with force as soon as the green light is given.”
