Iran Fires At Least 180 Missiles Into Israel

Iran Fires At Least 180 Missiles Into Israel

People gather around a missile at the West Bank village of Dura near Hebron, on October 1, 2024. Israel's military on Tuesday vowed to "carry out attacks throughout the Middle East tonight" to retaliate against the Iranian attacks. The military said around 200 missiles were fired by Iran at Israel in the evening, adding the attacks' impact was still under review. Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday, the latest in a series of rapidly escalating attacks between Israel and Iran and its Arab allies that threatens to push the Middle East closer to a regionwide war. Iran said the barrage was retaliation for a series of devastating blows Israel has landed in recent weeks against the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has been firing rockets into Israel since the war in Gaza began. Earlier Tuesday, Israel launched what it said is a limited ground incursion in southern Lebanon. Photo by Mamoun Wazwaz/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
