Israel has threatened on Wednesday to retaliate after Iran fired a barrage of missiles at its territory, with Tehran warning it would hit all infrastructure in Israel if it comes under attack.
Israel vowed it would make Iran pay after the attack late Tuesday, which saw most of the missiles intercepted, and pledged to immediately strike the Middle East powerfully.
Meanwhile, the US President, Joe Biden said the United States was fully supportive of Israel after the missile attack, adding that he would discuss a response with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when asked by reporters what the response towards Iran would be, Biden replied: “That’s in active discussion right now.”
Recall that Sirens sounded across Israel after Iran unleashed the missiles, most of which were intercepted by Israeli air defences or by allied air forces. Iranian state media reported 200 missiles had been fired at Israel including hypersonic weapons for the first time, which the Revolutionary Guards said had targeted three military bases around Tel Aviv and others elsewhere.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on social media platform X that Tehran’s action is concluded unless the Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation.
The Revolutionary Guards earlier said the attack was in response to Israel’s killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last week as well as the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in a Tehran bombing widely blamed on Israel.
Israeli medics reported two people lightly injured by shrapnel, in the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian was killed in Jericho when pieces of a rocket fell from the sky and hit him, the city’s governor Hussein Hamayel told newsmen.
