Israel intends to respond following Iranian aggression.
On Tuesday, Iran launched approximately 200 rockets towards Israel. Since then, the international community has been anticipating Israel's response to this provocation from their military. A military spokesperson has confirmed that plans for a retaliatory action are currently in progress.
Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) are reportedly preparing for a retaliation against Iran, following their unprecedented and unprovoked attack on Israeli civilians and the nation itself. An anonymous military representative shared this information. Details about the specific nature and timing of the response have not been disclosed.
As per a report from the left-leaning Israeli newspaper "Haaretz", citing the army, the retaliation is expected to be significant. The army is reportedly readying for a substantial attack on Iran following the rocket assault from Tehran this week. It's worth noting that Iran may launch more rockets at Israeli territory after the Israeli response, according to the newspaper.
Around 200 rockets were launched by Iran against Israel on Tuesday evening, according to Israeli sources. Israel issued a threat to Iran following the rocket attack. Iran claims that the attack was a response, among other things, to the death of the leader of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
Hezbollah, a group backed by Iran, opened a second front against Israel with regular rocket attacks from Lebanon right after the violent Islamic Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2020. In the recent days, Hezbollah's shelling at the border has intensified, particularly after Nasrallah's demise.
The following paragraphs shall apply to the anticipated retaliatory actions by Israel, as they are expected to be a direct response to the rocket attack from Iran. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to implement the relevant provisions in response to any escalation of hostilities.
