On Sunday, Iran announced that it has targeted Israel with Sejil missiles for the first time, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two nations. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that these strategic missiles were used successfully against Israeli air command centers, decision-making centers, effective infrastructure in military and defense industries, and military troop assembly points. This new development suggests a shift in Iran's military strategy and its readiness to confront Israel directly with advanced missile technology.

The Sejil missile, as per reports from Iranian semi-official news agency, is Iran's latest ballistic missile, designed to fly at speeds exceeding 17,000 kilometers per hour with a striking range of up to 2,500 kilometers. This capability raises concerns about regional security, especially since this missile's range could potentially cover most of Israel and parts of neighboring countries, presenting a significant strategic threat. Furthermore, the timing of this declaration aligns with what Iran terms the 54th wave of its "Promised Day" operation, which involves military exercises against external threats.

Israeli sources, including Channel 12 and the Walla news site, confirmed that a missile struck a building in central Israel, injuring at least two individuals. This incident indicates that the conflict has reached a more direct phase, with Iran employing its missile technology against Israeli targets. Since February 28, Israel and the United States have been engaged in a campaign against Iran, leading to substantial casualties, which may have prompted this daring action by Tehran.
