Israel-Iran War: Missiles Fired From Iran, Tel Aviv Targeted

Srinagar, Oct 1: Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Tuesday evening said that Iran has launched ballistic missiles “towards Israel,” in a major escalation in the conflict in the West Asia.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have said that the attack was in response to “the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Martyr Nilforooshan, we targeted the heart of the occupied territories,” reported Tehran Times.

The missiles were seen over the skies in Iran and Jordan, projecting towards Israel. Sirens are being heard across Israel.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported that several missiles fell into the river, while others have hit their target in Israel’s capital Tel Aviv.

People in Israel have been shifted to “Bomb Bunkers”.

Iran had promised “retaliation in its right time after,” after Israel’s aggression in the region against Iran’s allies, including Hezbullah.

There was, however, no casualty reported from Israel as of now.

Press TV reported that over 400 missiles have been launched towards Israel by Iran.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden had said that he along with his deputy Kamala Harris convened a meeting with national security team to discuss Iranian plans for an ‘imminent’ attack.

“This morning, @VP and I convened our national security team to discuss Iranian plans to launch an imminent missile attack against Israel. We discussed how the United States is prepared to help Israel defend against these attacks, and protect American personnel in the region,” Biden stated on X.

Meanwhile, a mass shooting is also being reported at a train station in Tel Aviv where two gunmen killed at least eight persons before being shot dead.

This comes days after Israel launched a decisive blow to Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, killing its Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah in airstrike. Earlier in July, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed inside Tehran.
