Israel-Iran Conflict Latest Updates
IRAN – Latest updates on Israel-Iran conflict: An overnight strike on Tehran is said to have killed the newly appointed chief of staff Ali Shadmani according to Israeli army on Tuesday.
“Following precise intelligence received by the IDF Intelligence Directorate and a sudden opportunity overnight, the IAF (air force) struck a staffed command center in the heart of Tehran and eliminated Ali Shadmani, the wartime chief of staff,” the army said in a statement.
He commanded both the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian army, it added.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appointed Shadmani to succeed the late Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, head of the central headquarters of the Iranian military, who was killed in Israeli airstrikes on Iran last Friday, according to Iranian state media.
Iran Launches Missiles on Israel
Iran launched a new barrage of missiles at central Israel on Tuesday, striking multiple sites in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Israel’s national emergency service, Magen David Adom, said 10 people were injured while running to shelters after air-raid sirens blared in several areas in Tel Aviv.
According to the public broadcaster KAN, an Iranian missile directly struck a building in the greater Tel Aviv area, injuring five people.
KAN did not specify the exact location of the injuries but said they occurred during Iran’s latest missile wave targeting Israeli territory.
Israeli police said the missile barrage caused property damage in Tel Aviv.
Israeli media also reported loud explosions in the greater Tel Aviv and Jerusalem area as air defense systems intercepted Iranian missiles.
Israeli Channel 12 said Iran launched approximately 30 missiles in the latest attack. Some landed across central Israel, including in Herzliya.
Iran’s Fars News Agency confirmed that Tehran used missiles and drones in the latest attack on Israel.
Regional tensions have escalated since Friday, when Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on multiple sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
Israeli authorities said at least 24 people have been killed and hundreds injured in Iranian missile attacks since then.
Iran said at least 224 people have been killed and over 1,000 others wounded in the Israeli assault.
