Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday it used the Sejjil missile for the first time during the current round of the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict.
IRGC said it had launched the 54th wave of Operation True Promise 4, during which the military also used Kheibar Shekan, Ghadr and Emad missiles and deployed the Khorramshahr missile.
Iran said the attack precisely targeted multiple strategic sites in Israel, including air operations management and decision-making centers, military industry and defense infrastructure, and concentrations of Israeli troops.
Later in the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had detected missiles launched from Iran into Israel, adding that its air defense systems were intercepting them.
Israeli sources said the latest Iranian missile attack injured at least two people in central Israel.

France's gross domestic product (GDP) stalled in the first quarter of 2026, recording zero growth from the previous quarter, according to preliminary data released on Thursday by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE).
The stagnation came as final domestic demand excluding inventories remained sluggish. Household consumption edged down 0.1 percent in the first three months of the year, a reversal from the 0.4 percent growth seen in the fourth quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, gross fixed capital formation also fell back by 0.4 percent.
Foreign trade exerted a strong negative contribution to GDP growth in the first quarter, subtracting 0.7 percentage point after adding 0.6 point in the previous quarter. This downturn was driven by a sharp 3.8 percent drop in exports, while imports also continued to decline, falling 1.7 percent.
In contrast, changes in inventories provided a strong positive contribution of 0.8 percentage point, rebounding from a negative 0.7 percentage point in the fourth quarter of 2025. The INSEE said the inventory build was driven mainly by aerospace products.
Total production of goods and services remained sluggish in the first quarter, rising by 0.1 percent after a 0.2 percent increase in the fourth quarter of 2025.
