Iran carried out a retaliatory strike Tuesday targeting Israeli air bases “used in the regime's terror attacks on Iranian civilians and infrastructure,” state-run Press TV reported.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the operations will continue in a sustained, complex, multilayered and gradual fashion.
Regional tensions have escalated since Friday, when Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on multiple sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
Israeli authorities said that at least 24 people have been killed and hundreds injured in Iranian missile attacks since then.
Iran said at least 224 people have been killed and over 1,000 wounded in the Israeli assault.
