Iran has launched hundreds of missiles on Israel, with some striking targets
The attack on Israel by Iran is the second this year.
In the first in April, Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel.
Israeli military officials said the attacks appeared to be over and there was no more threat from Iran “for now” but it is still unclear how much damage was caused.
The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has warned of “consequences” after the attack.
Iran launched around 180 missiles towards Israel, the Israeli military said.
That would make it a slightly larger attack than April’s barrage, which saw about 110 ballistic missiles and 30 cruise missiles fired towards Israel.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) maintained that 90% of projectiles had hit their targets, saying hypersonic missiles had been used for the first time.
IRGC sources said three Israeli military bases had been targeted.
Meanwhile Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had a phone discussion with European colleagues immediately after his country’s missile attack on Israel, state media reported Wednesday.
According to Iranian news agency IRNA, Araghchi spoke with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and colleagues in the UK, France and other countries.
The missile attack on Israel has now been completed; Araghchi was quoted as saying by IRNA.
“But if the Zionist regime takes retaliatory action, our response will be even tougher,” the minister said, referring to possible Israeli retaliation.
He stressed that Iran does not seek an escalation, but does not fear war.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that they fired 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday evening.
The attack was in retaliation for the killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and an Iranian general, the powerful elite branch of the Iranian armed forces said.
Initial estimates by the Israeli army put the number of missiles fired at around 180.
