Iran missile attack: Tehran launches 400 ballistic missiles, Israel kills Iranian commander, internet disruption in Iran

Iran has so far fired 400 ballistic missiles and 100s of UAVs towards Israel, Israeli military official said, as per a Reuters report. Air raid sirens sounded in the Tel Aviv area and parts of northern Israel on Tuesday, the military said, after warning of a fresh salvo of incoming missiles fired from Iran, AFP reported.

The Israeli military said Tuesday its forces struck several locations in western Iran, hitting 'dozens' of missile launchers as the arch-foes traded fire for a fifth straight day.

Meanwhile, Iranian media reported widespread internet disruption on Tuesday as Israel and Iran traded fire for a fifth straight day. It was not immediately clear what caused the disruption. Iran has imposed internet restrictions since Israel launched its unprecedented aerial campaign against Iranian military and nuclear facilities on Friday.


The Israeli military said earlier on Tuesday that it killed senior Iranian commander Ali Shadmani in an overnight strike on a "command centre in the heart of Tehran" -- just four days after his predecessor, Gholam Ali Rashid, was killed in a similar Israeli raid.

It also said it had targeted multiple missile and drone sites in western Iran overnight, including infrastructure, launchers and storage facilities, with black-and-white footage showing some of them exploding.

Despite mounting calls to de-escalate, neither side has backed off from the blitz that began Friday, when Israel launched an unprecedented aerial campaign targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities.
