Iran Launches Missile Strike on Israel in Retaliation for Guard Commander’s Killing
Iran launched hundreds of missiles at Israel, triggering alarms and causing panic across the country. Israelis rushed to shelters as the attack unfolded. This missile strike was Iran’s response to the killing of an Iranian Guards commander and other top leaders.
After the attack, Israel’s military sounded an all-clear, allowing citizens to leave their shelters. However, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards issued a stern warning, threatening “crushing attacks” if Israel retaliated. The situation has raised concerns of further escalation between the two countries.
Earlier, Israel’s military announced that any ballistic missile strike from Iran could be widespread. Authorities urged the public to seek shelter in safe rooms if attacked. The warning came as a precaution against Iran’s missile capabilities.
The missile launch occurred after Israeli troops conducted ground raids into Lebanon. This raid marks the most significant escalation of regional conflict since the Gaza fighting a year ago. Tensions are high as the region braces for possible further confrontations between Israel and Iran.
