Escalation in the Middle East: Iran bombies Israel - many deaths!

On the night of Saturday, Iran fired dozens of rockets on Israel, which led to numerous fatalities and injuries. According to reports, at least five people were killed in Israel, while about 80 more were injured. In Tel Aviv and Jerusalem the air -raid shelves howled, and many residents were looking for protection in bunkers and safe rooms. Israeli air defense was also activated to intercept the attacking rockets. Some of these rockets were successfully intercepted, but a rocket met a residential building in Rishon Lezion, which resulted in two fatalities and at least 20 injuries. This was already the third wave of attacks of Iran in this persistent escalation between the two countries, reports krone.at.

In the early hours of the conflict, Israel was attacked again, this time both with rockets and drones. Three people died in one of the attacks on Tel Aviv. Iran reported the death of two other generals, Gholamresa Mehrabi and Mehdi Rabani, while Israel continued his air strikes against Iran. These attacks aimed at important infrastructures, including facilities that are responsible for intercepting rockets, and parts of an uranium enrichment system in Natans were also damaged. Iranian military also warn that possible attacks on US bases in the region could be expanded, such as nau.ch reports.

The effects of the attacks

The missile attacks of Iran led to considerable damage in Israel, including the destruction of several buildings. According to this, in different cities, including Tel Aviv, people had to fear people for their lives. The number of injuries was given in a report as at least 63. While most rockets could be intercepted, some still fell into inhabited areas, which further increased the pressure on people. The ZDF reports of ruins caught floors that plunged on the streets and represented other dangers for the civilian population.

The Middle East expert Ali Vaez expressed concerns about a possible escalation of the conflict in view of the current developments. He was particularly concerned about the situation if US citizens were affected, which could increase the complexity and risk of an international dimension in this conflict. Despite the military reactions on both sides, Iran remains strong and has allies in the region who support its position.
