The Israeli army had previously called on residents of the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut to evacuate and warned of impending attacks. The army is attacking the “infrastructure of the terrorist Hezbollah,” said Arabic-speaking Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee on the Telegram online service.
A fuel depot at Kuwait’s international airport was hit in a drone attack and caught fire. According to initial findings, the damage is limited and there are no injuries, the government announced on Platform X. Emergency plans and the fire department were activated immediately, it said, citing the aviation authority. All relevant forces are deployed at the airport on the outskirts of Kuwait City.
The authorities did not provide any information about the suspected attacker. However, since the beginning of the Iran War, the Iranian military has repeatedly used missiles and drones to attack targets in the Persian Gulf states that it considers to be US allies.
The Israeli army has launched a new wave of attacks against the Iranian capital Tehran. The attacks targeted “the infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime,” the Israeli army said on Wednesday morning on the Telegram online service. The army had previously reported new missile volleys from Iran against Israel several times.
The Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) said rescue workers treated a man who was injured on the way to a shelter. Late on Tuesday evening, MDA reported nine injured in an Iranian rocket attack in the Bnei Brak area in central Israel. Six children were among the injured. Another three people were injured in nearby Givat Shmuel.
The Israeli army also said it would continue to target Iran’s ability to produce and fire missiles. “We are hitting every link in the missile chain, from the manufacturing facilities to the launchers to the missiles themselves,” Israeli army spokesman Effie Defrin said in a televised address. According to Defrin, the number of Iranian launches has fallen to an average of around ten missiles per day. Iran tries to concentrate its efforts every few days and fire on a larger scale, especially on population centers. “We are prepared and continue to hunt the soldiers and commanders of the missile system in order to eliminate them,” he said.
Israel’s army says it has attacked Iran’s most important explosive device production site. The military announced in the evening that it had already been the target of a bombardment during the war last year. However, the Iranian leadership has been in the process of restoring the capabilities of the facility in Isfahan in recent months.
