Iran has launched missile attacks across Israel, including the cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv, resulting in at least seven deaths and numerous injuries. Al Jazeera reported this news, citing medical personnel and media reports.
The strikes came in retaliation for Israel's bombing campaign on Saturday (June 14) targeting civilian and energy infrastructure across Iran, which set fire to Tehran's Shahr-e Rey oil facility. Iran responded by launching missiles at Israel overnight.
Al Jazeera reports that sirens blared across Israel following the Iranian attacks. Missiles were seen in the skies over Jerusalem and Haifa. The Israeli military (IDF) instructed residents to seek shelter in protected areas.
These events follow unprovoked, widespread Israeli airstrikes that began last Friday (June 13) across Iran and are still ongoing, even amidst Washington-Tehran discussions on nuclear issues.
These Israeli attacks have killed several top commanders and nuclear scientists in Iran. Iranian media has reported that at least 80 people have been killed and 800 injured in the Israeli attacks over the past two days, including 20 children.
