Iran, Tuesday, October 1, 2024 launched a missile attack on Israel. Sirens sounded across the country as CNN teams on the ground saw dozens of missiles over the cities of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa.
The attack was in response to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and others, according to Iranian state media, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, CNN reports.
Earlier, the US said it believed Iran was preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack against Israel, following Israel’s launch of a ground operation in southern Lebanon targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah.
Israeli officials described the ground offensive in Lebanon as “localized raids,” saying there would be “no long-term occupation” of Lebanon. Israel also said it has been conducting cross-border raids inside Lebanon since last year.
Social media platforms were inundated with videos that captured dramatic scenes of rocket fire illuminating the Iranian skyline.
