Iran has launched ballistic missile attacks on Israel in retaliation for Israeli attacks.
The retaliatory strikes coincided with the attack on Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport.
More than 40 people have been injured and hospitalized in the attacks.
Foreign media reports that Iran has launched more than 100 drones towards Israel.
The reports stated that the sky over Tel Aviv, Israel, was covered in black smoke as a result of the attacks, and explosions could be heard in the Jerusalem area.
This new escalation came after Israel launched several airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites under ‘Operation Rising Lion’.
Justifying the attacks, Israel has said it has received information that Iran’s nuclear program has reached a ‘point of no return’.
Foreign media reports that several Iranian commanders and six nuclear scientists were killed in the attacks.
Iranian media reported that General Mohammad Bagheri, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, was also killed in the attacks.
Meanwhile, 78 people have been killed in Israel’s first attacks targeting the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Foreign reports stated that another 326 people were injured.
