Iran fired missiles at Israel, which launched ground military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon on Tuesday. Iran has said that this attack is revenge for the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrullah and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and their country is ready to face any retaliation. On the other hand, the Israeli army has claimed that about 180 ballistic missiles were fired from Iran. However, all of them were foiled. At the same time, he said that a befitting reply will be given in time.
America said Iran's missile attack failed
President Biden's National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, said that Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles towards targets in Israel. The United States military coordinated closely with the Israeli Defense Forces to help defend Israel against this attack.
The US naval destroyer shot down the incoming missiles. Iran's attack has failed. At the same time, President Biden and Vice President Harris monitored the attack and response from the White House Situation Room, with their national security team involved in person and remotely.
Iran will have to pay the price
Iraqi Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted that Iran made a big mistake tonight and will have to pay the price for it.
At the same time, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant tweeted that I spent this evening in the command and control center with senior defense officials, and closely watched the IDF's successful defense against the Iranian missile attack on Israel. Iran has not learned a simple lesson - those who attack the State of Israel pay a heavy price.
Safety of American personnel paramount - Kamala Harris
US Vice President Kamala Harris said that today Iran recklessly attacked Israel and fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles. I unequivocally condemn this attack. Iran is a destabilizing, dangerous force in the Middle East and today's attack on Israel further demonstrates this fact. Earlier today I was in the Situation Room with President Biden and our national security team as we monitored the attack in real time and ensured that the safety of American personnel in the region was paramount.
No information on any deaths in Israel
We are still working with officials in the IDF and Israel to assess the impact of the attack. But at this time, we are not aware of any deaths in Israel. We are not aware of any damage to aircraft or strategic military assets in Israel.
With the Iranian attack, the crisis of war in West Asia has deepened as the US has jumped into the fray to help Israel. Earlier, the Israeli army entered southern Lebanon with tanks on Tuesday for ground action against Hezbollah, although the terrorist organization Hezbollah denied this.
The US had warned
The US had warned Israel about the Iranian attack a few hours ago. It had said that Iran could attack with ballistic missiles within a few hours which can hit the target in less than 12 minutes. Due to the attack of Iranian missiles, the sound of sirens resonated throughout Israel. After the attack, Israel told its people to stay in safe places unless told. On Tuesday itself, eight people were killed and many others were injured in a terrorist attack in Jaffa, Israel. During this, two terrorists were killed by the security forces.
Biden ordered to shoot down Iranian missiles
Meanwhile, the Biden administration ordered the US military to shoot down Iranian missiles. The White House issued a statement soon after Iran started firing missiles. The US said that 40 thousand American soldiers are already deployed in West Asia. A few thousand additional soldiers are being sent to help Israel. Also warned that Iran will have to face serious consequences for a direct attack against Israel.
Let us tell you that during Tehran's last attack on Israel on April 13, the US played an important role in shooting down Iranian missiles. Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres again called for a ceasefire. Earlier on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Force claimed that its soldiers and tanks had entered South Lebanon. A limited ground operation has been launched on the border to eliminate Hezbollah's hideouts.
Israel did not enter Lebanon - Hezbollah
On the other hand, Hezbollah spokesperson Muhammad Afif said that Israel's claim of entering Lebanon is false. If they cross the border, our fighters are ready for a direct war. During this, Israel also carried out air strikes on targets in South Lebanon overnight. Three civilians were killed and nine others were injured in an Israeli attack in Damascus, Syria. On the other hand, Hezbollah said that it fired medium-range missiles targeting the headquarters of two Israeli intelligence agencies near Tel Aviv.
