Iran’s armed forces say they targeted multiple sites in Israel including Ben Gurion Airport, after US attacks on key nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic.
“The twentieth wave of Operation Honest Promise 3 began using a combination of long-range liquid and solid fuel missiles with devastating warhead power,” the armed forces say in a statement quoted by Fars news agency.
The targets included the airport, a “biological research center,” logistics bases, and various layers of command and control centers, it adds.
Missiles hit residential areas of Tel Aviv, Nes Tziona and Haifa.
