Iran attacks Israel after Lebanon invasion and Hezbollah killings

Chief Correspondent

Israel is invading Lebanon and Iran is attacking Israel.

Every one of these countries now at war, with tens of millions of people braced for what comes next.

A massive attack of ballistic missiles targeted cities across Israel, the revenge Iran promised after Israel killed the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. It came as Israeli forces crossed the border into Lebanon telling people across the south to evacuate.

So far there has been no fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, but two waves of Iranian missiles have been launched into central and southern Israel. It’s not known how many struck targets on the ground.

Meanwhile Israeli airstrikes have struck across Lebanon all day, including in Beirut, and there has also been a suspected terror attack in Tel Aviv with at least six reported dead and nine injured.

There have also been attacks in Gaza, Syria and the Red Sea. The fighting that blew up almost a year ago is on the verge of becoming a full-blown regional war.
