Iran Strikes Israel with ‘Revenge’ Missiles Following Assassinations
Iran launched a barrage of cluster and multiple-warhead missiles at central Israel overnight, killing two people. The strikes came amid a widening conflict now entering its third week.
Casualties and local damage
The dead were a couple in their 70s in the Ramat Gan area near Tel Aviv. Several others suffered injuries from falling shrapnel.
Reports said the strikes damaged homes and infrastructure. A Tel Aviv train station also sustained significant impact.
Weapons and timing
The attack used multiple-warhead and cluster munitions. These weapons are designed to complicate air-defence interception.
Iran followed with another wave of strikes on Wednesday morning. Authorities said the action was in direct response to recent killings.
Official claims
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps framed the operation as retribution for the assassination of Ali Larijani. Tehran has described the action as revenge for the loss of senior figures.
Wider context and leadership losses
Israel recently carried out high-profile assassinations, including Ali Larijani. Commanders such as Gholamreza Soleimani of the Basij militia were also killed.
Analysts say several senior figures have been targeted since the war began. Observers warn the trend is increasing uncertainty across the region.
Other developments
Filmogaz.com reporters said air-raid alerts caused widespread alarm among civilians. Some survivors reported delays in siren activation.
Iranian authorities executed a man accused of spying for Mossad, according to semi-official local media. The International Atomic Energy Agency said a projectile struck the grounds of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant.
The IAEA reported no damage to the reactor and no injuries. Iranian officials insist the facility was not harmed.
Reactions and statements
Iranian officials portrayed their political system as resilient to the loss of individuals. They stressed institutions remain intact.
Commentators note the killings have heightened fear and diplomatic confusion. A senior US official has warned contacts are now limited.
Coverage continues as the situation evolves. Analysts are monitoring further strikes and diplomatic responses closely.
