“Iran’s new blitz at Israel” is how Metro describes the missile attack, which follows a similar bombardment in April. Images of fighting inside Lebanon illustrate the story including Beirut under Israeli air attack and an Israeli tank opening fire.
WWIII fears heighten after Israel vows revenge on Iran for ballistic missile attack
Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to retaliate against Iran after it launched missile strikes against Israel.
The Israeli prime minister said Iran had ‘made a big mistake’ and ‘will pay for it’.
Iran has vowed ‘vast destruction’ if Israel – or its Western allies – retaliate to its attack, which saw a salvo of some 200 ballistic missiles rain on Israel.
This was the latest tit-for-tat threat between Iran and Israel, pushing the Middle East one step closer to an all-out war.
