Rocket alarm in Israel: Many injured after attack from Iran!
In a worrying rise in violence between Israel and Iran, massive rocket attacks and counterattacks occurred today, leaving scores injured and causing destruction in Israel. According to information from vienna.at Scores of people were injured in Haifa, a coastal city in Israel, including a 16-year-old boy and two men in serious condition. A 51-year-old woman suffered cardiac arrest during a missile alert and could not be saved despite resuscitation measures. A total of 19 injured people had to be treated in hospital, including two seriously injured.
In response, the Israeli Air Force carried out airstrikes on Tehran after digital signal fires were reported in Iran. Meanwhile, the Iranian side reported attacking two air bases in Israel for the first time, including military facilities and control centers. According to the Israeli military, over 25 rockets were fired from Iran. Reports of school building impacts in central Israel and explosions in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem increased, but no injuries were reported from these incidents.
The escalation is reaching new heights
How tagesschau.de reports, attacks between the two countries have increased dramatically in recent days. In Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv, homes were hit, resulting in at least 13 deaths, including children. In addition, 35 people are currently suspected to be missing. The Israeli army said rocket alarms had been sounded across the country in recent days and explosions were also heard in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Iranian officials reported explosions in Tehran, particularly near Mehrabad airport, and reported severe damage to water supplies in some parts of the city. Iran also accuses Israel of carrying out targeted attacks on the Foreign Ministry in Tehran. The Israeli attacks have so far claimed at least 138 lives in Iran, causing panic among the population to flee.
Political reactions and international consequences
In response to the military clashes, US President Trump warned of possible attacks on US military personnel. At the same time, he praised the Israeli offensive, but emphasized that there was no US involvement in the attacks. Loud ZDF Israeli President Izchak Herzog justified the major attack on Iranian nuclear facilities as a necessary step against an existential threat to the Jewish people, while intelligence information documents Iran's progress in the nuclear field.
The IAEA has identified Iran's problems with its obligations. Given rising tensions, future negotiations over the US-Iran nuclear program appear unlikely. Iran could order targeted retaliation against U.S. facilities, further complicating the situation.
The military escalation in the region remains tense as the international community reacts with concern to the developments. Experts warn of the far-reaching consequences of these disputes and the resulting geopolitical tensions.
