On 1 October 2024, Iran launched about 200 missiles towards Israel in at least two waves, causing sirens to sound across the country. Explosions were reported overhead across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The IDF has confirmed over 100 missiles were fired by Iran. One Palestinian was killed from rocket fragments in Jericho.

The attack was in response to the 2024 Hezbollah headquarters strike, which resulted in the assassination of Hezbollah's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah one week earlier, an action attributed to Israel, and the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and Abbas Nilforoushan. This incident marked the second time Iran openly attacked Israel from its own territory, following another attack in mid-April 2024.

Background

Iranian strikes in April 2024

Main article: April 2024 Iranian strikes against Israel

On 13 April 2024, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in collaboration with several Iranian-backed Islamist militas, launched retaliatory attacks against Israel with loitering munitions, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles. Iran said it was retaliation for the Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on 1 April, which killed two Iranian generals. The strike sent around 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles toward Israel and the Golan Heights.

Israel said that the coalition whose defensive efforts were codenamed Iron Shield, destroyed 99 percent of the incoming weapons, most before they reached Israeli airspace. American, British, French, and Jordanian air forces also shot some down. The missiles caused minor damage to the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel, which remained operational. In Israel, a 7-year-old Israeli Bedouin girl was struck and injured by part of a missile, and 31 other people either suffered minor injuries while rushing to shelters or were treated for anxiety. The attack was the largest attempted drone strike in history, Iran's attacks drew criticism from the United Nations, several world leaders, and political analysts, who warned that they risk escalating into a full-blown regional war. Israel retaliated by executing limited strikes on Iran on 18 April 2024. The Israeli strike reportedly destroyed an air defense radar site guarding the Natanz nuclear facility, aiming to communicate Iran Israel's capabilities to Iran without escalating tensions further.

Recent escalation in the Middle East

In September 2024, a major escalation took place in the Hezbollah–Israel conflict that started after the Iranian-backed group initiated attacks against Israel, a day after Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel. During this month, Hezbollah suffered major setbacks that degraded its capabilities and devastated its leadership, including the 17 and 18 September explosions of its handheld communication devices and the 20 September assassination of Ibrahim Aqil, commander of the elite Redwan Force. IDF airstrikes also targeted Hezbollah's military bases, command centers, airstrips, and weapons caches across southern Lebanon. These setbacks culminated in the 27 September assassination of Hassan Nasrallah and other senior commanders, including Ali Karaki, commander of Hezbollah in south Lebanon, in an airstrike that destroyed their underground headquarters in Beirut's Dahieh suburbs.

Strikes

According to the IDF, over 100 missiles were fired by Iran. Two civilians have been injured by the strikes.

Reactions

Prior to the missile launch, the United States had warned about the attack. A US official told Reuters, "A direct military attack from Iran against Israel will carry severe consequences for Iran". Anonymous Pentagon officials stated that the US troops that were stationed in the Middle East weren't attacked during the event. In response to the attack, Israel, Iraq, and Jordan closed their airspaces. Israel also reported that its security cabinet was convening in a bunker in Jerusalem.

The Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich commented on the situation, stating, "Iran will regret this moment, like Hezbollah, the state of Lebanon and Gaza".

According to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Iran has threatened to carry out "crushing attacks" if Israel responds. It was reported that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei remains in a secure location.
