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.
