Bahrain's defense ministry officially confirmed that its forces intercepted an Iranian attack, according to a report on ynet at 11:58 Jerusalem time. The confirmation came minutes after the country's state media had reported the same, and as reports emerged of a second, ongoing wave of attacks targeting the kingdom.
Earlier today at 11:30 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Bahrain's main airport in Manama suspended all flights due to the Iranian attack. Shortly after, state media said air defenses had intercepted the latest attack. Then, reports indicated a second wave of attacks was underway, with air defense systems attempting to intercept additional targets.
The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple similar incidents in recent weeks, including Bahrain's interception of Iranian launches on July 9, 14, and 15, as well as Jordan's official confirmation of intercepting 10 Iranian missiles on July 18. These events are part of broader regional tensions following U.S. strikes on Iran, as The Zioneer reported on July 17.
No details have been provided on the scale of the attack, the number of intercepts, or any casualties or damage. The status of the reported second wave of attacks remains unclear, and no further statements from Bahraini authorities have been issued.
