Israel's regions in the south and center endured a harrowing night due to waves of rocket attacks launched by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. This assault comes as retaliation for the assassination of Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and General Gholam Soleimani of the Basij forces in an Israeli airstrike earlier. Images from the ground showcase significant destruction and fires in buildings and vehicles resulting from the Iranian rockets that fell in the Holon area of central Israel.

Reports indicate that last night was particularly fierce, with nearly hourly waves of rocket fire, as reported by Al Jazeera's correspondent from Tehran. The attacks were predominantly composed of heavy missiles, especially the "Khoramshahr 4" model, which carries a warhead weighing two tons. Additionally, some rockets involved in the assaults were new cluster missiles reaching speeds of 13 Mach, indicating a significant escalation in the type of weaponry being employed.

Sources from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards indicated that the strikes targeted a prominent figure within Israel's inner cabinet, and that the most recent attacks hit more than 100 Israeli sites. This onslaught represents a swift and practical response to Iran's threats of retaliation for the aforementioned assassinations, reaffirming Iran's commitment to respond aggressively to perceived Israeli aggressions. The impact of these attacks not only heightens tensions between Israel and Iran but also poses broader implications for regional security in the ongoing conflict.
