TEHRAN – Iran launched
hundreds of missiles at the occupied lands on Tuesday evening, confirmed by the local Israeli media.
In an official statement, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that it has targeted the heart of the occupied territories in response to the martyrdom of the Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and top Iranian commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan.
The statement further warned that any retaliatory action by the Zionist regime will be met with a crushing response. According to the IRGC, the ongoing operations against Israel are being supported by both the Iranian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations posted a tweet on X. The tweet read: “Iran’s legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime—which involved targeting Iranian nationals and interests and infringing upon the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran—has been duly carried out. Should the Zionist regime dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence, a subsequent and crushing response will ensue. Regional states and the Zionists’ supporters are advised to part ways with the regime.”
The Zionist regime’s military spokesman Daniel Hagari had earlier on Tuesday that intelligence information shared by the United States indicated an imminent missile attack from Iran.
In a news briefing, Hagari said the occupying regime was in a state of preparedness and preparing for the possible attack with the aid of American forces in the region.
Other resistance factions in the region also launched heavy strikes against Israeli targets.
The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces says the country’s aerospace units have conducted two operations against strategic positions in the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s ongoing atrocities in the Gaza Strip and its unrelenting strikes across Lebanon.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a televised address on Tuesday morning that Yemeni forces struck a vital target near the coastal city of Tel Aviv, using a homegrown and long-range Yafa kamikaze drone.
They also pounded military installations at the Port of Eilat in the southernmost part of the occupied lands with four domestically-developed Sammad-4 (Invincible-4) combat drones.
The Yemeni spokesman said both operations successfully achieved their desired objectives.
He noted that Yemeni Armed Forces salute resilient Palestinian and Lebanese resistance fighters as they are defending their nations and confronting the U.S.-backed Israeli aggression, and reaffirm their practical support for
Palestine and Lebanon until Israel is defeated and all its criminal plots and expansionist conspiracies are thwarted.
The Yemeni army calls upon all Arab and Islamic nations to break their silence and participate actively in this fateful battle, as the first anniversary of the beginning of the Gaza war is approaching, he said.
“We will continue our struggle with God’s help until the promised victory is achieved,” Saree concluded.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 last year, killing at least 41,615 Palestinians to date.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until Israeli ground and aerial attacks in Gaza end.
Israel launched its brutal campaign of genocide in Gaza after Palestinian resistance groups conducted a surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories.
The regime has had in place a near-total siege on the coastal territory, which has reduced to a trickle the flow of foodstuffs, medicine, electricity, and water into the Palestinian territory.
Leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has said it is “a great honor and blessing to be confronting America directly.”
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah also targeted the Zionist reigme’s Glilot military base and Mossad headquarters in the outskirts of Tel Aviv with salvos of Fadi-4 rockets.
Israeli reports said several settlers were injured in the rocket barrage from Lebanon on Tel Aviv.
The reports said the rocket attack from Lebanon was “the largest” since the beginning of the war.
Hezbollah earlier said it struck gatherings of Israeli troopers in artillery and rocket attacks on the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories in retaliation for Israel’s deadly strikes on Lebanon.
In separate statements released on Tuesday, the resistance movement said the gatherings of the enemy troops were hit at the Shtula, Metulla, Avivim and Rosh Pina settlements.
The resistance also targeted the Doviv barracks with a Falaq-2 rockets as well as the gathering of Israeli forces near the settlement of Rosh Pina with a rocket barrage.
The resistance group added that it had conducted the operations in support of “steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and … their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.”
The attacks came amid a major escalation in Israel’s acts of terror and aggression in Lebanon that saw the regime assassinating Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on southern Beirut.
The death toll from Israeli aerial assaults across Lebanon since early October 2023 has reached 1,745 with some 8,767 injured, according to Lebanese government data. In response, Hezbollah has fired barrages of rockets and drones towards Israeli targets.
The deadly exchange of fire was sparked by Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, which has killed 41,615 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded 96,359 others over the past year.
