Iran attacks Israel

Iran on Tuesday launched a barrage of rockets, including ballistic missiles, near Tel Aviv which comes amid Israel's unabated aerial action against Tehan-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon in an apparent bid to avenge Israeli military action against its proxies.

Iran's retaliatory action to avenge Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah's assassination was looming large, even as the US had cautioned Israel that the Khamenei regime might attack it.

Meanwhile, Israel activated its iron dome to prevent damage from Iranian missiles and urged its citizens to hide in bomb shelters, with sirens blaring across the Jewish nation.

The Shiite theocratic state's direct engagement with Israel has deepened the fear of wider escalation in the Middle East region, which has already been at the brink ever since Palestinian militant group Hamas 's October 7 attack last year, triggering prolonged war in Gaza.
