Day After Iran's Strikes On Israel, Tensions High: All The Latest Developments
ABP NewsTensions and rhetoric remained intense in the Middle East on Wednesday, a day after Iran fired over 180 missiles at Israel amid a widening regional conflict that began with Hamas' terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Reuters reported that Israel was reinforcing its military presence in Lebanon as part of its onslaught against the Hezbollah, as its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran would pay for its strike on the country. Meanwhile, Lebanon's Hezbollah targeted areas north of Israel's city of Haifa with a large missile salvo, the militant group said on Wednesday, as reported by Reuters. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said the assault was in response to Israel's aggression in Lebanon and Gaza, and the recent killings of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan, and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in July. pic.twitter.com/ok8CxCXxnP — Israel ישראל October 1, 2024 The Iranian foreign minister said Iran's action against Israel came after exercising tremendous restraint to give space for a ceasefire in Gaza.
