Iran threatens more attack on Israel following October 1 aerial barrage
Iran has threatened more attack on Israel after it has fired 180 ballistic missiles on Israel on October 1.
The attacks, which rattled Israel and forced many of her citizens scampering for safety, were an immediate response to September 27 killing of a Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, by Israel, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said after the assault.
Several Israel’s cities were hit by Iran’s missiles on Tuesday with no casualties recorded except some injuries, according to Israel’s Defence Forces spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, a rear admiral.
The attacks followed similar offensive orchestrated by Iran in April in which it fired over 300 projectiles and over 99 per cent were reportedly intercepted by Israel and its partners.

While Israel has vowed a deadly retaliation to the latest offensive, Iran’s mission to the United Nations wrote in a post on X after the attack, “Should the Zionist regime dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence, a subsequent and crushing response will ensue,”
It also sent a subtle warning to the United States and other Israel’s allies against any plans to further support Israel to repel future aggression.
“Regional states and the Zionists’ supporters are advised to part ways with the regime,” Iran warned.
The ICIR reports that the current conflict worsen the Middle-East crisis, in which Israel alone has had a prolonged face-off with Palestine, Iran, Syria and Lebanon this year.
The IDF spokesperson, Hagari, said it was not the first time Israel faced a threat from Iran and his team was ready for further attempted bombardment.
“There was a serious attack on us and there will be serious consequences,” he said.
Hezbollah, led by Hassan Nasrallah since the 1990s, maintains strong ties with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and plays a crucial role in Tehran’s regional proxy network. Israel views Hezbollah as a significant threat and asserts its operations are necessary to protect its citizens.
For about two weeks, Israel intensified its military campaign against Hezbollah, to dismantle its infrastructure and prevent potential attacks on its territory.
The ICIR further reports that the that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, stormed the just-concluded United Nations General Assembly and vowed that his country was ready for Iran and other countries threatening its existence.
Netanyahu called on Israel’s allies to join his country’s efforts in what he described at ensuring global peace.
