The missile launches come as the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fourth day on Monday. Israeli strikes on Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Petah Tikva killed at least eight people and injured dozens. Key infrastructure, including a power plant, was also damaged.

The closure of airspace over Iran and Israel has severely impacted air travel through the region, grounding flights and stranding travellers.

Israeli warplanes targeted the Iranian capital before dawn Wednesday after the military issued a warning on social media for civilians in an area known as District 18 to evacuate.
