« In response to martyrs of Ismaël Haniyeh, Hassan Nasrallah and Abbas Nilforoushan [adjoint au chef des Gardiens]we aimed at the heart of the occupied territories [Israël] », indicated, in a press release, the ideological army of Iran.
Two lightly injured after missile attack
According to emergency services, two people were slightly injured by the Iranian missile attack. This occurred at the end of the day in Israel where alert sirens were activated throughout the territory. Explosions in the sky above Jerusalem were also noted by journalists from Agence France-Presse.
“All Israeli civilians are in bomb shelters, while Iranian rockets are fired at Israel,” the Israeli army said on her X account. According to her, “around 10 million civilians are under Iranian bombs”.
Earlier in the day, she called on the population to prepare for a possible “large-scale” Iranian attack by obeying the directives of passive defense and to immediately go to shelters in the event of an alert and to stay there “ until further notice.”
Several dead in an attack in Tel Aviv
At the same time as these bombings, the Israeli army announced the death of at least four people in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. According to police, seven other people were also injured in this automatic weapons shooting perpetrated by two shooters.
According to surveillance camera images broadcast by Israeli television, the two shooters opened fire while getting off a tram at the Sderot-Yeroushalaïm stop, in the Jaffa district. “The two terrorists were neutralized on the spot,” the police said in a press release.
Israel says it is ready to “defend and attack”
A few hours before this attack, Washington had warned of an “imminent” attack by Tehran on Israel. “The United States has indications that Iran is preparing to launch an imminent ballistic missile attack” against Israel, a senior American official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“We actively support the defense preparations” of Israel, he further indicated, adding that a “direct military attack by Iran against Israel would have serious consequences” for Tehran. Benjamin Netanyahu has already warned Tehran that there are “no places in the Middle East that Israel cannot reach”. Israel says it is ready to “defend and attack”.
While the Jewish state has eliminated several Hezbollah commanders in recent weeks, including its leader Hassan Nasrallah, Tehran has just condemned and threatened with words. An attitude that so questions that the Iranian “conspiracy” theory is making headway in Lebanon.
Iran’s last attack against Israel dates back to April 13, after the assassination of several cadres of the Revolutionary Guards in a consular compound in Damascus. Around 170 suicide drones, 120 ballistic missiles and 30 cruise missiles had been launched. Only five projectiles fell on the Nevatim air base, which houses F-35s, the most modern fighter planes.
