Iran launched missiles at Israel. Israeli defense systems are active, and leaders warn of an escalating conflict.

By Alexander Cornwell, Parisa Hafezi and Jeff Mason TEL AVIV/DUBAI/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Iranian missiles struck Israel's Tel Aviv and the port city of Haifa on Monday, destroying homes and fuelling concerns among world leaders at this week's G7 meeting that the battle between the two old enemies could lead to a broader regional conflict.

A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel. Between five and seven missiles were launched in the latest attack. Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat. Sirens were activated in Tel Aviv and other locations in central Israel.
