Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, "Iran made a big mistake tonight and will pay for it," following Iran’s launch of 180 missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israel’s strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari confirmed, "The air force will continue to strike powerfully across the Middle East." Iran’s Foreign Minister warned, "Our action is concluded unless the Israeli regime invites further retaliation." US President Joe Biden voiced strong support for Israel, stating, "We are fully supportive of Israel." As tensions rise, the Middle East faces the threat of further escalation.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed India's concern over the escalating Middle East conflict, particularly the tensions between Iran and Israel. Speaking at a Washington DC think tank event, Jaishankar highlighted the risks of a full-scale war and stressed the importance of adhering to international humanitarian law to avoid civilian casualties. He acknowledged Israel's need to respond to the October 7 terrorist attack but urged caution in broadening the conflict. Hours after his remarks, Iran launched 180 missiles into Israel following the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, raising fears of a wider regional war.

Iranian-backed Iraqi armed groups have issued a warning that U.S. military bases in Iraq and the broader region will be targeted if the United States retaliates against Iranian missile strikes on Israel. They also threatened action if Israel utilizes Iraqi airspace for operations against Iran. This statement follows heightened tensions in the region, with the potential for increased conflict as various factions respond to recent hostilities. The Iraqi military emphasized that any involvement by the U.S. would escalate the situation and put their bases at risk.

Iran launched over 180 missiles at Israel, marking a significant retaliation for the recent deaths of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Brigadier General Abbas Nilforushan in Israeli airstrikes. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted many of the missiles, with Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari confirming, "There were a few hits in the center and other areas." Following the attack, U.S. President Joe Biden ordered military support to aid Israel's defense. The situation remains tense, with Israel engaged in ground operations in southern Lebanon amid rising regional hostilities.

Ebrahim Azizi, head of Iran's Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, announced on state TV that the recent missile strikes on Israel were the first wave of attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Azizi warned that if Israel makes further mistakes, a second, "more destructive" wave of attacks will follow. He asserted that the Iranian targets included Israeli military centers but acknowledged possible civilian casualties due to miscalculations. Hamas praised the missile launch, calling it "heroic," while Israeli authorities reported that most of the approximately 180 missiles were intercepted, with no injuries reported.

In response to Iran firing barrages of rockets at Israel, the Indian Embassy in Tel Aviv has issued an urgent advisory to all Indian nationals in the country. The embassy urged citizens to stay vigilant, follow local safety protocols, and avoid unnecessary travel. Shelters have been opened across Israel as tensions escalate after the killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli missile attack. The embassy provided 24/7 helpline numbers and requested all unregistered Indian nationals to register immediately for assistance during emergencies.

Eight people were killed and seven injured in a suspected terrorist shooting in Tel Aviv on Tuesday. The attack occurred at Jerusalem Street, near a light rail station. Israeli police confirmed that two gunmen, believed to be responsible, were neutralized. Emergency services responded immediately, providing medical treatment to the wounded.

The incident comes amid heightened tensions, with sirens sounding across Israel after Iran launched a missile barrage in response to Israeli strikes on Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned Israel of "crushing attacks" if it retaliates for Iran's missile strike on Tel Aviv. The missiles targeted Israel’s commercial hub on Tuesday evening, with the Guards vowing further action if Israel responds. The attack is seen as a response to Israel’s recent strike on Beirut that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian Quds Force commander General Abbas Nilforoushan. The U.S. warned Iran of severe consequences for the missile launch, as tensions continue escalating between the nations.

Six people were killed and nine others critically injured during a combined shooting and knife attack in Tel Aviv on 1 October 2024. Israeli police confirmed that the violence unfolded on a rail carriage and continued on the Jaffa platform, where two attackers were “neutralized” by civilians. The attack took place shortly before Iran launched barrages of missiles towards Israel, further escalating tensions in the region. Authorities described the incident as an act of terror, though the attackers' identities remain unknown.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a stern warning to Tehran following missile strikes from Iran. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari emphasized Israel's readiness for both defense and offense, stating, “We will protect the citizens of Israel, and this attack will not go unanswered.” No casualties were reported, attributed to the public’s responsible actions during the crisis. This escalation comes amid international calls for a ceasefire, as President Biden urged de-escalation, while Israeli PM Netanyahu warned Iran of potential retaliation. Tensions remain high as Hezbollah vows to continue fighting Israel in response to the ongoing conflict.
