Israel revenge airstrikes Iran Missile Facilities, US Calls for Caution Following Hezbollah Leader’s Death
Israel revenge airstrikes Iran military base, in response to the recent ballistic missile launch into its territory. According to spokesman of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Daniel Hagari, the bombardment targeted installations used to produce missiles that have been launched into Israel on multiple occasions throughout the year, posing serious security risks. In Hagari’s words, Israel has “the obligation to respond” to attacks that have been “relentless” from various fronts in the region, involving both Iran and its allies.
For other hand, the bombing indicated Israel revenge airstrikes response after Iran launched a 180-missile offensive on October 1 following the assassination of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, along with 17 other leaders in southern Lebanon. In this recent operation, the first explosions were recorded in Tehran at around 2:15 a.m. local time, especially at military bases near the capital, creating extendeds alarms among residents. The second wave was seen over the center and east of the city, impacting areas near Karaj. According to Iran’s IRNA news agency, anti-aircraft defenses were successfully activated, and no damage was reported, according to Iranian authorities.
According to The New York Times, the United States, which already had knowledge of the Israel revenge airstrikes operation, has supported Israel’s response as “proportionate,” although it has called for moderation from both sides to avoid an intensification of the conflict in the region. The situation stays tense, with Iranian air routes suspended and all flights on Iranian territory cancelled to ensure security amid escalating hostilities. From the headquarters of the Kyria military base, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with the defense minister and other top Israeli security authorities, continue to monitor the development of events closely, while holding consultations with the United States to discuss potential next steps.
