Israel attacks Iran

26-10-2024

TEHRAN/ JERUSALEM: The Israeli army says it is conducting strikes on military targets in Iran in response to what it said were months of attacks by Iran and its proxies in the region. There has been no immediate comment from Iran.

Several explosions have been reported around Tehran. Air defence systems activated in the capital as Iranian media report none of the military sites belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have been hit.

Gaza’s civil defence agency says 12 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli drone strikes on people waiting to receive desperately needed humanitarian aid in the besieged north.

UN human rights chief says Israel’s northern Gaza assault “could amount to atrocity crimes … extending to crimes against humanity”.

In Gaza, at least 42,847 people have been killed and 100,544 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks and more than 200 were taken captive. (Int’l Monitoring Desk)
