In a major escalation in the Middle East, Iran responded to Israel’s military strikes the night before with hundreds of ballistic missiles, killing at least one Israeli woman and leaving several other citizens injured.

Over 60 people were wounded in the strikes in Israel, The Times Of Israel reported, adding that another person was seriously hurt and several more were moderately wounded. Many more were lightly injured.

Iran’s attack came in retaliation for Israel’s June 12 attack on Iran’s nuclear sites and military installations, wiping out its top military leaders and nuclear scientists. Israel codenamed the attack as ‘Operation Rising Lion’. Iran Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed retaliation, stating that Israel would not be allowed to do “hit and run" attacks without grave consequences. Tehran launched the ‘True Promise 3 operation’ on Friday night and fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel.

Israeli Defence Minister, Israel Katz, said that Iran “crossed red lines after it dared to fire missiles at civilian population concentrations in Israel".

“We will continue to defend the citizens of Israel and ensure that the ayatollah regime pays a very heavy price for its heinous actions," Times of Israel quoted him as saying.

While the Iranian media claimed that hundreds of missiles were launched, Israel Defence Forces estimated the number stood at less than 100. Large explosions were heard in Tel Aviv area as smoke was seen rising over numerous locations in the city.

Home Front Command soldiers rescued a civilian from one of the buildings in the Tel Aviv area that was hit by a ballistic missile, the IDF said. A large fragment of an intercepted missile struck a town in northern Israel and caused damage, the police said.

According to IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, most of the incoming projectiles were intercepted by the air defence systems or fell short before reaching Israel.
