"Both events describe the same core military action: Iran launching direct missile strikes against Israel. Event 15 specifies the target as Ashkelon, while the new event specifies the launch origin as Tehran and highlights the domestic political context. They are concurrent reports of the same escalation phase."
"Event 13 describes Iran launching direct missile strikes following a Beirut attack. The new event describes the same type of action (direct missile strikes) but emphasizes the shift from proxy warfare and domestic support. These are likely part of the same coordinated wave of attacks reported at slightly different times or with different contextual focuses."
"Event 11 reports a direct ballistic missile strike on Israel. The new event reports direct missile strikes from Tehran. Given the high severity and similar timing, these are likely components of the same broader military operation or wave of retaliation, representing parallel reporting of the same strategic shift to direct confrontation."
