From North to South: Precise Iranian strikes hit unexpected Israeli targets
ALBAWABA - Iran has stepped up its reaction to the ongoing war with Israel by firing a wide range of missiles from north to south at key Israeli towns such as Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Be'er Sheva. The attack, which happened on the eighth day of fighting, hurt many people seriously and damaged a lot of infrastructure. Israeli news outlets say that several Iranian rockets hit different parts of the country. In Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, explosions were heard. At least 17 people were hurt, and some are in serious condition, according to rescue services in Haifa alone. Channel 12 reports that a total of 21 people were killed in this wave. Fire departments said there was a lot of damage to buildings in downtown Israel. At the same time, Channel 13 was worried that a dangerous substance might have leaked because of how strong the hits were. Yona Yahav, the mayor of Haifa, stated that two important spots in the city were attacked on purpose. Reports also said that one of the missiles had a cluster bomb with 26 smaller missiles inside it. According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), this is the 17th wave of Operation True Promise 3. Heavy, long-range ballistic weapons are being used in this wave. Iranian military officials say that this wave especially went after military sites, factories that make weapons, and airfields at Nevatim and Hatzerim. On TV, a spokesman for the IRGC said that the "broad and accurate strikes on Tel Aviv and Haifa demonstrate the advancing strength of Iran's ballistic missile capabilities." Nour News in Iran said that the IRGC also used Sejjil-3 missiles to target a mobile broadcast station of Israel's Channel 14 in Haifa after being warned ahead of time. Earlier that day, an Israeli air defense system failed to stop a rocket that was aimed at Be'er Sheva. Sources in Iran said that the targeted spot was home to busy military and computer assets. Israel started a big attack against Iran on June 13, hitting military targets, civilian infrastructure, and nuclear sites. They also killed top military leaders, such as the head of the IRGC, the Chief of Staff, and senior nuclear scientists. In response, Iran has launched more and more powerful rocket attacks on Israeli land, causing unprecedented levels of damage and harm to civilians in towns across the country. Attacks are still happening every day on both sides, and there are no signs that things will calm down.
