"The new event describes a second wave of direct missile strikes ('two missile launches... within a 15-minute window') following the initial IRGC strike described in event 15. This represents a continuation and intensification of the direct state-on-state kinetic action initiated by the IRGC, moving from a single warning strike to sustained bombardment."
"Event 14 identifies the initial retaliatory strikes against Israel for Beirut attacks. The new event constitutes a further escalation of this same retaliatory campaign, as Iran continues to launch direct missiles into Israeli territory, specifically targeting the north, thereby deepening the conflict beyond the initial volley."
"Event 11 marks the beginning of Iran's direct missile strikes following the Beirut attack. The new event is a subsequent phase of this same military operation, indicating that the conflict has not de-escalated after the initial strikes but has continued with further launches, confirming the sustained nature of the escalation."
