New Rocket Attacks from Iran on Israel: A Dangerous Escalation
Iran Launches Fresh Rocket Attacks Toward Israel
The Middle East tensions have spiked once again as Iran fires a new round of rockets at Israel, reports from the Tasnim news agency suggest. In response to Israel's severe airstrikes on nuclear facilities and other strategic targets, Iran has retaliated with a second day of rocket attacks. At least 14 civilians have been injured, with one person reported to be in critical condition, according to Magen David Adom, the Israeli rescue service.
Sirens blared across many northern regions, including the bustling coastal city of Haifa, as defense systems were activated to fend off the threat. Israeli military advises people in the affected areas to seek immediate shelter and remain there until further instruction.
The Targeted Attacks
Iran allegedly targeted a refinery in the Israeli port city of Haifa, according to the Iranian state news agency IRNA. Meanwhile, residents in the northern parts of Israel reported hearing deafening explosions. The Israeli military, on the other hand, was simultaneously launching attacks on military targets in Tehran, as per their official statement. Louder blasts were heard in the northern parts of Tehran late in the evening.
Netanyahu's Assurance
Israel initially started attacking Iranian targets on June 12, aiming to cripple the country's uranium enrichment capabilities. This offensive included crucial Iranian energy infrastructure, high-ranking Iranian military figures, nuclear scientists, defense positions, cities, and even oil fields. Iran views these air attacks as a declaration of war and responded with hundreds of rockets and drones on June 14.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reassured the public, asserting that Israel has Trump's "clear support" in these conflicts.
