100 homes damaged in northern Tel Aviv by Iranian missile attack
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli authorities have said that some 100 homes in the northern city of Hod Hasharon took damage from Tuesday’s missile attack from Iran.
Some of the buildings were heavily damaged and will take some time to fix, while dozens of others have sustained only minor damage, Israeli public broadcaster KAN quoted city officials.
Later, Israeli Army Radio confirmed that Iranian rockets fell in open areas in Netanya, located in Hod Hasharon, part of the greater Tel Aviv area.
Iran has fired around 180 ballistic missiles at Israel amid heightened tensions between the two regional arch-rivals.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attack was in response to the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoshan.
Haniyeh was killed in an attack in Tehran in July, while Nasrallah and Nilforoshan were killed in an airstrike in the Lebanese capital Beirut last week.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu raved that the missile attack was a “big mistake” and threatened that Iran “will pay for it.”
The attack comes amid heightened international fears of Israel’s war against both Gaza and Lebanese Hezbollah escalating into a larger regional conflagration.
