Iran launched sustained retaliatory missile and drone strikes against Israel in the hours after a major joint U.S.-Israeli strike on Iranian targets, triggering sustained air raid sirens and forcing millions of people to shelter in shelters in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and beyond as civil aviation halted and national emergency measures took effect.
In central Tel Aviv and other urban areas, at least one Israeli civilian was killed and dozens more injured by stray bullets; and emergency services are reporting scores of additional injuries across the country.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it is carrying out the most “destructive attack” in history, targeting Israeli military installations and about 27 US bases in the Middle East with waves of ballistic missiles and armed drones.
The attacks came in direct retaliation for the February 28 US-Israeli operation against Iranian leadership and missile infrastructure; This operation collapsed previous diplomatic efforts by killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior commanders.
