Iran launches ballistic missile attack on Israel as Middle East threatens to explode into all-out war

Published October 1, 2024 3:08pm ET



Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles into Israel Tuesday night in what the regime said was a direct response to the deaths of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps figure.

Israelis across the country were ordered to seek shelter, though Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, IDF spokesman, has since said civilians are now permitted to leave. The Israel Defense Forces released a map showing the entire country under threat. Separately, in Jaffa, south of Tel Aviv, eight Israelis were killed by two gunmen in a suspected terrorist attack at a train station. The gunmen were killed by local authorities.
