This is Iran’s second direct attack
This attack by Iran constitutes the Iran’s second direct attack on Israel in recent months, since in mid-April it launched hundreds of missiles and drones in response to the bombing of its consulate in Damascus. Tehran had warned that it reserved the right to react to the assassination on Iranian soil of the former leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniye, at the end of July.
Likewise, the government of USA had warned a few hours ago of a new “imminent” attack from Iran, in a context also marked by the intensification of fighting in Lebanonwhere Israel launched a ground offensive this Tuesday morning, and while the conflict in the Gaza Strip is still open.
After the bombing, the United States assured that the Iranian missile attack on Israel had been “ineffective” and reported that there were no deaths on Israeli territory and no damage to strategic military weapons was recorded.
