Iran fires barrage of missiles into Israel as regionwide conflict grows

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday vowed retaliation against Iran for its missile barrage on Israel. "Iran made a big mistake tonight and it will pay for it," Netanyahu said as he gathered his Security Cabinet for a late-night meeting. Netanyahu said the missile attack was a failure and that Iran would soon learn a painful lesson just as its enemies in Gaza, Lebanon and other places have learned. "Whoever attacks us. We attack them," he said. Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel, sending Israelis diving into shelters but prompting celebrations across Iran. There was no immediate report of casualties in the attack late on Tuesday. Israel said it intercepted many of the missiles, and officials in Washington said US destroyers assisted in Israel's defence. Iran said most of its missiles hit their targets. Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said 90 per cent of missiles it launched against Israel hit their targets successfully. The statement broadcast on

All about Iran's missile barrage, Israel's ground operations in Lebanon

Iran launched almost 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday evening, causing scattered damage and fires from falling shrapnel, but Israeli authorities said there were no injuries. An Israeli security official said most of the missiles were intercepted, though some managed to land. Israeli officials said Iran would pay a price for the strike. The missile attack came after Israel said ground troops crossed into Lebanon overnight, launching what the military described as a limited operation to root out Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure. Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it saw no sign of Israeli forces and that its troops were ready to confront them. Israel said the incursion would be focused on the narrow strip of land just across the border. But it also issued evacuation warnings covering a wider swath of Lebanon, raising fears that a large-scale ground invasion was soon to come. In recent days, a wave of Israeli airstrikes has killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and several of his to

Israel says Iran launched missiles, warns residents to shelter in place

The Israeli military said Tuesday that Iran has fired missiles at Israel, and air raid sirens sounded across the country as residents were ordered to remain close to bomb shelters. Israel and the United States have warned there would be severe consequences if Iran attacks. The orders to shelter in place were sent to Israelis' mobile phones and announced on national television. TV stations reported sirens in parts of Jerusalem as well as central Israel. The alerts were sounded after a day of rocket and missile attacks from Lebanon, and as Israel said it had begun limited ground operations in southern Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire pounded southern Lebanese villages where people were ordered to evacuate, and Hezbollah militants responded by firing a barrage of rockets into Israel. There was no immediate word on casualties as fighting intensified and concerns of a wider regional war grew. A senior White House official warned of severe consequences should Iran launch a

After Nasrallah, Hezbollah leader Nabil Kaouk killed in Israeli airstrike

The Israeli military says it has killed another high-ranking Hezbollah official in an airstrike. The military said on Sunday that it killed Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah's Central Council, in an airstrike the day before. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah. Several senior Hezbollah commanders have been killed in Israeli strikes in recent weeks, including the group's overall leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in Beirut on Friday.

What to know after Israel's assassination of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah

Israel's assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is a monumental and hugely demoralising blow to the group he led for 32 years, marking a significant inflection point for Lebanon and the region. Hezbollah's announcement of his death Friday triggered tears and celebrations across the Arab world, pointing to the widespread reach and influence of a divisive man who has been at the forefront of Middle Eastern politics for decades. The 64-year-old Nasrallah headed arguably the most powerful paramilitary force in the world also a U.S.-designated terror organization that is now left without a clear successor at a critical juncture. It remains to be seen whether his death will be a trigger for an all-out war between the two sides that could potentially drag in Iran and the United States. Here are some things to know about the situation: Is it a decapitating blow? Nasrallah's assassination is a severe blow to the group, not a decapitating one. But analysts say Hezbollah will n

Biden calls Israeli strike killing Hezbollah's chief 'measure of justice'

President Joe Biden on Saturday called the Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah a measure of justice for his four-decade reign of terror. The comments came after Lebanon's Hezbollah group confirmed earlier Saturday that Nasrallah, one of the group's founders, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut the previous day. Biden noted that the operation to take out Nasrallah took place in the broader context of the conflict that began with Hamas' massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023. Nasrallah, the next day, made the fateful decision to join hands with Hamas and open what he called a 'northern front' against Israel, Biden said in a statement. He also noted that Hezbollah under Nasrallah's watch has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans.

Senior commander also killed with Nasrallah in Israeli strike, says Iran

Iran announced Saturday that a prominent general in its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard sanctioned by the US died in an airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Abbas Nilforushan, 58, was killed Friday in Lebanon, Iran's state-run IRNA news agency reported. The US Treasury had identified Nilforushan as the deputy commander for operations in the Guard. It sanctioned him in 2022 and said he had led an organisation directly in charge of protest suppression, which has played a critical role in arresting protest leaders during previous protests. Those sanctions came amid the monthslong protests over the death of Mahsa Amini after her arrest for allegedly not wearing her headscarf, or hijab, to the liking of police. Nilforushan also served in Syria backing President Bashar Assad in his country's decades-long war that grew out of the 2011 Arab Spring that swept the wider Middle East. He served in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s like many of his colleagues. In 202

Hezbollah confirms its leader Nasrallah killed in Israeli airstrike

Lebanon's Hezbollah group has confirmed that its leader and one of its founders, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. A statement Saturday said Nasrallah has joined his fellow martyrs. The statement says Hezbollah vows to continue the holy war against the enemy and in support of Palestine. Nasrallah led the militant group for more than three decades. His death could dramatically reshape conflicts across the Middle East.
