Iran Launches Massive Missile Strike On Israel, Escalating Middle East Tensions
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Iran launched over 100 missiles at Israel Tuesday night, marking a notable escalation in the conflict between the two nations.
Israel's military promptly alerted citizens to the incoming threat, urging them to seek shelter. Air raid sirens blared across Israel, including major cities like Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Residents witnessed explosions in the night sky as Israel's air defense system intercepted incoming missiles. The Iron Dome defense system worked tirelessly to protect Israeli territory.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attack. They stated it was retaliation for recent assassinations of key figures.
These included Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, and an Iranian commander. Iran threatened further missile launches if provoked.
The missile strike follows Israel's ground invasio of southern Lebanon. Israeli forces aim to dismantle Hezbollah's infrastructure in the region.

Despite the massive attack, initial reports indicate minimal casualties. Two people in Tel Aviv suffered minor injuries from missile debris. No other serious injuries or fatalities have been reported thus far.
