Tensions in the Middle East rose another notch on Tuesday following a new barrage of missiles aimed at Israel from Iran, the second such attack in months. The Israeli armed forces have already promised Tehran to make it “pay the price”.
Sirens sounded across central Israel early Tuesday evening, shortly after the Israeli army launched a ground operation in southern Lebanon.
Despite the approximately 200 missiles fired by Iran, the offensive reportedly left only one dead, a Palestinian in the West Bank, and two seriously injured in Tel Aviv. However, several missiles reportedly hit the ground, including one less than a kilometer from Mossad headquarters, and caused significant damage.
The majority of the missiles were, however, intercepted by the “Iron Dome” defense system with the help of US Navy destroyers which, on the orders of President Joe Biden, lent support to the Israeli authorities.
