Death and devastation: Iran draws Israel's wrath!
In a new escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel, several waves of ballistic missiles were fired from Tehran at various cities in Israel overnight. The shelling began at 9 p.m. local time and resulted in at least three deaths and numerous injuries, such as Radio Euskirchen reported. In Tel Aviv and Rishon LeZion in particular, two residential buildings were completely destroyed by the rockets. These attacks came in retaliation for a surprise Israeli attack carried out in previous days.
The Israeli Air Force responded immediately and bombed several targets in Iran. Over 150 military targets were attacked, including air defense systems and infrastructure facilities of the Iranian nuclear weapons project. Loud New Zurich newspaper Over 70 people are said to have died in Iran. The attacks on the nuclear facilities in Isfahan and the city of Natanz were particularly serious and are expected to delay the restoration of these facilities for weeks.
The situation on site
In central and northern Israel, people can now come out of shelters again, the Israeli army announced. The search and rescue forces are continuing to work to eliminate the consequences of the attacks and to treat possible injured people. Another tragic event occurred during an earlier wave of attacks in Tamra, where five people lost their lives.
The political reactions to the escalation are complex. Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has called on all parties to exercise restraint to avoid further escalation. According to a report by the Mirror Radiation levels in Iran remain stable after the attacks, which somewhat puts the worrying situation into perspective, but the situation remains tense and unpredictable.
The outlook and international reactions
The conflict also has international implications. The Chinese embassy describes the situation as serious and complex and calls on its citizens in Iran to exercise extreme caution. SPD foreign politician Rolf Mützenich warns of a conflagration in the Middle East and sees current military activities as a potential threat to stability in the region.
The extensive military activities of both sides suggest that a significant escalation could be imminent. Iran plans to continue its missile attacks, even though they initially had to reduce the number of missiles it fires. With over 2,000 ballistic missiles in their arsenal, the Iranians indicate that there is a real possibility of further attacks, which is threatening both to the civilian population in Israel and to the stability of the entire region.
