TEHRAN/JERUSALEM -Oct. 02. Iran unleashed a barrage of approximately 200 missiles towards Israel in a two-wave attack, triggering widespread sirens across the country. The strikes were reportedly in retaliation for the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, and other senior commanders.
– Missile Strikes: Explosions rocked Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, with one Palestinian killed and several injured from intercepted rocket fragments.
– International Response: The US warned of severe consequences for Iran, with Senator Lindsey Graham calling for an overwhelming response.
– Regional Tensions: Israel, Iraq, and Jordan closed their airspaces, with Israel’s security cabinet convening in a Jerusalem bunker.
The escalation follows a series of events, including Iranian-backed Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel and the assassination of Ibrahim Aqil, commander of Hezbollah’s elite Redwan Force.
