On Tuesday night, Iran launched a missile attack on Israel in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh (Hamas) and Hassan Nasrallah (Hezbollah). In a statement, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had begun attacks on Zionist military targets as well as intelligence headquarters in northern Tel Aviv. Iran has also warned that if Israel responds, it will face more violent attacks. “In response to the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, Hassan Nasrallah and Commander Nilforoshan, we strike at the heart of the occupied territories,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in its statement.
According to Al Mayadeen, at least 400 missiles were fired. Sirens continue to sound throughout occupied Palestine as the Iranian response is initiated. At least two people were killed as a result of the Iranian attack.
Earlier, a shooting attack was reported in Tel Aviv. The operation is highlighted as a “martyrdom operation” and two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on several targets in Tel Aviv, leaving at least 10 dead and dozens injured.
Imperialist President Joseph Biden has declared that the United States is prepared to help Israel defend itself from Iranian missile attacks and protect the American military in the region.
We will bring you more information soon.
