Tehran Launches New Wave Of Missiles At Israel

Background

By Worthy News’ George Whitten and Stefan J. Bos

TEHRAN/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Tehran launched a new wave of missiles at Israel after it said late Friday that 78 people were killed and 320 were wounded in Israel’s airstrikes on Iran.

There were reports of a rocket impact in Tel Aviv, Israel’s economic hub, on Saturday, with fire and rescue teams hit by shrapnel. It follows reports of blasts in the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv areas.

Fire and Rescue teams responded to an initial call about a rocket impacting a building in Tel Aviv early Saturday morning, officials said.

Magen David Adom, Israel’s leading rescue service, reported that a Mobile Intensive Care Unit was hit by shrapnel in the Tel Aviv area. “Two female crew members, who were wearing protective gear, sustained minor injuries from glass shards. They were treated at the scene and did not require evacuation to the hospital. Further updates will follow if necessary.”

Previous barrages have already injured scores of Israelis.

With a mounting death toll in Iran after Israel hit dozens of targets, such as nuclear and military facilities in and around Tehran, Iranian leaders warned Israel of even more retaliatory strikes.

The United States military helped shoot down Iranian missiles that were headed toward Israel, U.S. officials said, but not all were apparently intercepted.

PREMIER SPEAKS TO NATION

So far, the U.S. interceptions have reportedly been carried out by ground-based systems, not fighter jets.

Despite some setbacks with Israelis being injured, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the nation that “the Iranian regime has never been weaker”, adding: “This is an opportunity for the Iranian people to stand up against the regime.”

However, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards stressed that they carried out attacks against dozens of targets in Israel on Friday night, warning: “Our revenge has just started, they will pay a high price for killing our commanders, scientists, and people.”

British Foreign Minister David Lammy said on Friday he spoke to his Iranian counterpart and urged calm following Israel’s airstrikes on Iran, which he described as a “unilateral act”.

“I spoke to my Iranian counterpart today to urge restraint at this time, and calm. I recognise that this is a moment of grave peril in the Middle East,” he said.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, was delivering a separate address in which he said that Iranian armed forces will leave Israel “helpless”.

Khamenei also said that Israel “will not remain unscathed” and that Tehran “will not go for half measures in its response.”
