Nearly 200 missiles have been launched at Israel from Iran, Israel’s army radio announced.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have threatened “crushing attacks” for Israel if it responds to the missile barrage launched on Tuesday evening.
Iran has launched a missile attack on Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv, state media reported, citing officials.
The official IRNA news agency said Iran had launched “a missile attack on Tel Aviv”, without elaborating after staying quiet during the start of the barrage.
Explosions sounded in Jerusalem on Tuesday evening as air raid sirens rang out, AFP journalists reported, with what appeared to be air defence interceptors echoing over the city.
The explosions came shortly after the military said that Iran had launched a missile attack targeting Israel.

Netanyahu just full-on pushing Israel into a regional war to stay in power. Sadly, the US is probably going to help him.
Can’t wait to see the Israel apologists start arguing that Israel flattening city blocks in other countries is justified, but other countries attacking Israel in response at all, is evil and unjust. Looks like at least one is already here…
Iran is an oppressive regime though no sane person plays pinata with a Hornets nest and expects the Hornets to not retaliate. This is about Benjamin Netanyahu being a warlord while treating all Israels neighbors badly.
Israel’s been acting like a rabid dog attacking all its neighbors. I hope someone takes it out back and puts it down before it causes more harm
It will happen eventually… US support days are numbered… as boomer die off, we will slowly start cleansing our selves undue influence from Israel and parasitic lobby.
Sadly Palestinians will either be killed off or displaced…
And we will say never again, again 🤡
Damn Israel really should stop hiding rocket lunchers in Tel Aviv and using humans shields
