Details: Meanwhile, the Israeli military has confirmed that the country is under missile attack from "dozens of rockets".
The military personnel stated that the explosions currently heard in Israel are the result of either Iranian missiles being intercepted or striking their targets.
It is reported that Iranian missiles were seen in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Background:
- On the night of 12-13 June, Israel attacked Tehran and its outskirts and other cities across the country. Israel described its attack as preemptive and aimed at undermining Iran’s nuclear programme and targeting military facilities.
- The strikes reportedly killed Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Gholamali Rashid, head of the IRGC's Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, and six nuclear scientists.
- Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces, said that Tehran would respond to Israel's strikes, noting that the United States would "pay dearly" despite Washington's assurances of its non-involvement.
