Iran Targets Multiple Sites in Israel after US Attack
Iran’s armed forces said Sunday they targeted multiple sites in Israel including Ben Gurion airport, after US attacks on key nuclear sites in Iran.
“The twentieth wave of Operation Honest Promise 3 began using a combination of long-range liquid and solid fuel missiles with devastating warhead power,” the armed forces said in a statement quoted by Fars news agency.
The targets included the airport, a “biological research center,” logistics bases and various layers of command and control centres, it added.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it launched 40 missiles, including its Khorramshahr-4, during the attack on Israel on Sunday morning. Iran has said the Khorramshahr-4 can carry multiple warheads.
The Israeli Health Ministry says Iranian attacks overnight and into Sunday have wounded more than 80 people.
The vast majority, more than 70, were lightly wounded, it said.
Several buildings were also damaged.
Shortly after the Iranian missile barrage, Israel announced its warplanes were conducting strikes on “military targets” in western Iran.
The United States attacked three sites in Iran early Sunday.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Washington had “betrayed diplomacy” with the military strikes in support of Israel, and said now “the US has itself launched a dangerous war against Iran.”
