ISTANBUL (AA) - Iran launched three more missiles toward northern Israel on Tuesday evening, Israeli media reported.
“The Israeli army intercepted three missiles launched at the north, and no injuries have been reported,” according to Channel 12.
Meanwhile, the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth said that sirens sounded across wide areas of northern Israel, including the Upper, Lower, and Western Galilee, Haifa, Carmel, Acre, the Golan, Wadi Ara, and Shefa-Amr, after rockets were detected coming from Iran.
Later, in a statement, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it carried out strikes on Israeli airbases used in the “brazen aggression” against Iran, the Iranian Fars news agency reported.
The IRGC warned the attacks would “continue in a successive, complex, multi-layered, and gradual manner.”
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 Friday.
Iran, for its part, said that at least 224 people have been killed and over 1,000 others wounded in the Israeli assault.
