On February 28, 2026, the conflict between Israel and Iran escalated dramatically as Israel launched a significant military operation, deploying around 200 fighter jets to strike approximately 500 targets across Iran, including key political and military sites in Tehran. In retaliation, Iranian forces initiated a 'first wave' of drone and missile attacks, reportedly launching missiles at Israel and U.S. military bases in the Gulf region. Notably, a missile struck Tel Aviv, injuring at least 21 people, including one in critical condition (Middle East Eye, The Hindu). In response to the escalating violence, Israel's Defense Minister declared a state of emergency, shutting down schools and banning public gatherings while tens of thousands of reservists were called up for service (Business Recorder).
