Iran-Israel conflict

The current military conflict between Israel and Iran was triggered by overnight strikes by the former under ‘Operation Rising Lion’, attacking several military and nuclear sites across Iran. Many key commanders and nuclear scientists were killed in Iran in the strikes. Iran has retaliated by launching air strikes across Israel.

Air raid sirens rang across Israel early Monday morning after Iran launched a new wave of missiles at Israel, killing at least five people and injuring dozens others, reported AP.

Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, triggering air raid sirens across the country as emergency services reported at least five killed and dozens more wounded in the fourth day of open warfare between the regional foes that showed no sign of slowing.

According to Iran, it launched some 100 missiles and even vowed further retaliation against Israel for its actions against the country’s military and nuclear infrastructure.

At least 224 people in Iran have died in Israeli strikes since last Friday, the report added. In Israel, the death toll has touched 19.
