CROSSFIREARABIA – Iran has attacked Israel with ballistic missiles, Tuesday, evening. It was a massive attack coming from different locations in Iran launching missiles that hit Israel at point-blank.
The ballistic missiles argued to be made in two rounds, no more than five minutes within each other, amounted up to 250, although different media sources like Al Jazeera settled on 180 ballistic missiles that directly came across from Iran.
In a preliminary statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG) said the attack was in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC Commander Abbas Nilforoshan according to Anadolu.
The social media has been going crazy with commentary and images of the missiles coming in droves over Israel in a first-time development and hit different cities and strategic locations in Israel like Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and the Negev desert.
The Israeli army has been telling its citizens, all-day Tuesday, to stay in or near underground shelters because of the missiles, namely Fadi 4 rockets that were being fired by Hezbollah operatives from across the border.
Just before the blasts media outlets were saying that US intelligence sources were conveying to the Israelis than an attack from Iran was imminent and to be prepared for.
When the massive attack happened however, it was surprise jolts, coming over the Jordan night skies where it was visibly seen and heard.
“This operation is our legal right to defend ourselves,” the Revolutionary Guard pointed out in its statement. Iran’s mission to the United Nations stated that “If Israel dares to retaliate or commits malicious acts, our response will be devastating,” as reported by the Quds News Network.
