Two dead in Israel after Iranian missile attack near Tel Aviv
Iranian missiles fired from Iran hit the Israeli city of Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv, killing two people and injuring others as part of a broader exchange of strikes tied to ongoing hostilities between Iran and Israel (Operation Roaring lion).A man in nearby Bnei Brak was also mildly injured, and emergency services confirmed the deaths of a man and a woman from shrapnel injuries. The incident followed Israeli strikes that killed two senior Iranian leaders, Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying the actions are aimed at undermining the regime and giving the Iranian people a chance to change their leadership. Iran later confirmed the deaths of the two officials, amid heightened tensions surrounding the conflict.
Two dead in Israel after Iranian missile attack near Tel Aviv
An Iranian airstrike on the Israeli city of Ramat Gan killed two people on Tuesday evening.
“At the scene in Ramat Gan, medics and paramedics confirm the deaths of a man and a woman with severe shrapnel injuries,” Magen David Adom, Israeli emergency response services, said in a statement.
Magen David Adom announced that the series of missiles fired from Iran also mildly injured a man in the city of Bnei Brak.
Since the start of the war on Feb. 28, Israel has received much of the brunt of the airstrikes coming from Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon as the country launches strikes on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah as part of Operation Roaring Lion.
Iran’s missile attacks came hours after Israel announced it had killed two senior Iranian leaders. The Israeli military strikes ousted Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, and Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of the Guard’s Basij unit. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the two were killed in separate airstrikes.
“We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people an opportunity to remove it,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “It will not happen all at once, and it will not happen easily. But if we persist, we will give them the chance to take their destiny into their own hands.”
WHAT ALI LARIJANI KILLING SAYS ABOUT THE STATE OF IRAN’S SENIOR LEADERSHIP
Iran confirmed the deaths of the two senior officials on Tuesday afternoon.
As the current supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has stayed out of the spotlight amid speculation he was injured by a strike, Larijani was largely seen as in command of the country since the former ayatollah’s death.
