Israeli military launches retaliatory strikes on Iran after attacks on northern Israel [View all]
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/clyengg72pgtIsrael said it struck several military targets in Iran, retaliating against missile attacks by Tehran despite President Donald Trump’s call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from escalation.
The Israel Defense Forces said it struck targets in western and central Iran, with Iranian state media reporting multiple explosions in Tehran. The IDF said earlier it had identified and intercepted missiles fired from Iran, adding that emergency services reported no casualties.
Mohsen Rezaee, a military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, told the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency that the missile launch toward Israel was a “warning to cease their hostile actions” in Lebanon.
The latest strikes follow an escalation between Israel and Hezbollah. Early Sunday, the Lebanese militia attacked targets in northern areas of the Jewish state, whose army responded with a strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs killing two and injuring 11. At the same time, the US and Iran appear to be making little progress toward an interim deal to end the war.
