Iran has launched more than 400 ballistic missiles towards Israel, targeting key areas, including the capital Tel Aviv. The missile attack has led to widespread air raid sirens across Israel, with citizens rushing to bomb shelters in multiple cities. Early reports confirm at least two injuries due to the strikes.
Following the attack, Israel closed its airspace and evacuated airports. Israeli authorities have warned of severe consequences for Iran, while Hezbollah has also launched rockets from Lebanon in coordination with the assault. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that this attack was retaliation for the deaths of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, who were recently killed in conflict.
The situation has triggered emergency meetings of Israel’s war cabinet and a special national security briefing called by U.S. President Joe Biden. With tensions escalating, the Middle East is on high alert for potential further clashes.
