Iran launches fresh waves of missiles into Israel, 6 injured in Tel Aviv attack

Iran launched a fresh wave of missiles at Israel Tuesday – and six people were left injured following a strike in Tel Aviv. 

Air raid sirens rang out across parts of Israel and one munition which damaged buildings and cars in Tel Aviv contained 100 kilograms of explosives, the Times of Israel reported.

Iran also fired missiles on southern Israel but no injuries were reported, according to the Jewish State.

“While there have been initiatives by regional countries to de-escalate tensions, Iran’s response has been clear: It did not start the war and all such requests should be directed to Washington.”
