Israel attacks Iran, loud explosions near Tehran, missiles rained for a few hours

#News Bureau October

The Israeli military says it launched attacks on Iranian military targets early on October 26 in response to months of attacks on its territory by Iran and its proxy groups. There was no immediate comment from Iran. Al Jazeera says it spoke to a university professor in Tehran who says everything is normal. But other media outlets say loud explosions were heard near Tehran. There are indications the attack will be limited, but it has brought the Gulf crisis to a new turn.

Iranian media reports that air defense systems have been activated in Tehran, with no military sites belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) yet to be hit. Two Israeli officials told the New York Times that the attacks on military sites in Iran ended around 5 a.m. Saturday. According to the report, the IDF “attacked about 20 sites during the night.”

Reuters and CNN, citing Iran’s news agency IRNA, reported that Iranian officials said explosions were heard in several areas in and around Tehran early Saturday. These are related to air security. Iran’s Tasnim news agency had earlier reported that several explosions were heard west of the Iranian capital. According to Fars news agency, several explosions were also heard in Tehran on Saturday morning local time.

The Israeli military says it is striking “precisely” military targets in Iran. An Israeli military source told CNN that Israel’s retaliatory targets in Iran do not include nuclear infrastructure.

Israel’s attacks on Iran are expected to last for “several more hours,” a source familiar with the matter told CNN. A second round of attacks has begun, with tracer fire and explosions lighting up the skies over the Iranian capital, a source familiar with Israel’s operation told CNN. Videos posted on social media by Tehran residents show explosions bursting into the sky and flames billowing as dawn breaks. One of those videos geolocated by CNN shows multiple rounds of tracer fire with the sound of explosions in the background. Another video geolocated by CNN shows multiple explosions in the sky south of Tehran.

Photos released by the Israeli military showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant managing the operation against Iran from Kirya, the Israel Defense Forces’ military headquarters in Tel Aviv.

This photo has been released by the Israeli Defense Force.

A Defense Ministry spokesman said in a statement that Netanyahu and Galant were “closely monitoring” the attacks in Iran from the IDF’s command and control center. They were accompanied by Israel’s deputy chief of the general staff, the Defense Ministry’s director general and additional senior officials, the statement said. Israel Air Force commander Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar was also present, the Israeli military said.

Israel’s attack on Iran is ongoing and is expected to be an overnight affair, US-based ABC News reported. ABC cited a source who also said there have been no reports of Iranian casualties or damage to its warplanes so far.

According to Iranian media, loud noises heard by some people around Tehran were caused by the activation of an air defense system.

Iranian official sources told Tasnim News Agency that Iran is ready to respond to Israeli aggression. As stated earlier. Iran reserves its right to respond to any form of aggression, and there is no doubt that any Israeli action will receive a response accordingly.
