Iran Launches Missile Strike on Israel Targets

On October 1, Iran launched a missile strike targeting two Israeli military bases and the Mossad headquarters, resulting in a crater approximately 30 feet deep and 50 feet wide outside the intelligence agency's office. The attack, dubbed "Operation True Promise II," involved around 200 ballistic missiles, with some penetrating Israel's defense systems. Iranian military officials stated the strikes were a retaliation for the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and aimed at military targets, with claims that civilian areas were spared. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the action and vowed that Iran would 'pay the price' for the escalation. This incident marks a significant increase in military confrontation between Iran and Israel, following a period of heightened tensions in the region. The situation raises concerns about a broader conflict in the Middle East amid ongoing hostilities involving various factions.
