Iran made a bold move by launching a barrage of rockets at targets across Israel on Tuesday evening, marking its largest-ever attack on the country. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for the attack, targeting key military and security sites in response to recent killings of prominent figures in Hezbollah, IRGC, and Hamas.
Despite Israeli military officials declaring the assault as “over” with no immediate threat from Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised consequences. The attack aimed at Mossad headquarters, air bases, and military positions near the Gaza Strip resulted in damage and casualties, including reports of two wounded individuals in Tel Aviv and a casualty in Jericho.
What’s Next?
The aftermath of the attack has sparked calls for retaliation and escalated tensions. Israeli officials, along with White House adviser Jake Sullivan, have hinted at severe consequences for Iran. Plans for a significant retaliation targeting Iran’s vital facilities are underway, raising concerns of further escalation in the region.
