The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attack was in response to the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoshan.

 

Haniyeh was killed in an attack in Tehran in July, while Nasrallah and Nilforoshan were killed in an airstrike in the Lebanese capital Beirut last week.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the missile attack was a “big mistake” and that Iran “will pay for it.”

The attack comes amid heightened international fears of Israel’s war against both Gaza and Lebanese Hezbollah escalating into a larger regional conflict.
