Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Monday said the Iranian regime had launched missiles toward Jerusalem during the holy month of Ramadan. In a statement shared on social media platform X, the ministry said the missiles were fired toward the city, which it described as sacred to billions of believers around the world. “The Iranian regime is launching missiles toward Jerusalem, the city sacred to billions of believers, during the month of Ramadan,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry said.

According to the statement, the missiles were launched over key religious sites in the city, including the Western Wall, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Israel said on Monday that an Iranian missile attack killed a man, raising the country's death toll in the war to 11. This marked the first death from missiles in Israel in a week. The man was killed in an attack that targeted central Israel, reported AP.

Meanwhile, Iran's military forces and regional resistance groups have launched a series of retaliatory military strikes against the United States and the Israeli regime, according to reports by state broadcaster Press TV.

The operations, conducted on Sunday, were reportedly led by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Army as part of "Operation True Promise 4." This military action follows what Tehran describes as an unprovoked act of aggression by a US-Israeli coalition against the Islamic Republic.

Since the onset of the escalation, Iranian forces have reportedly executed 27 waves of missile and drone strikes. These attacks used advanced weaponry to target Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories, alongside American occupation bases and assets positioned throughout the West Asia region.

The regional scope of the conflict has widened as the Lebanese Hezbollah movement and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq joined the front. Press TV reported that these groups have inflicted "heavy blows" on external aggressors in response to the killing of the former Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Central to the Sunday strikes was a joint operation by the IRGC, which targeted a US helicopter base in Al-Ada'iri, Kuwait. During this mission, the IRGC naval forces' ballistic missile unit reportedly struck helicopter assembly centres, fuel tanks, and command buildings, resulting in "significant destruction."
