As the two-month truce is about to end, Tehran has resumed attacks in apparent retaliation for the Israeli bombing this Sunday on the southern neighborhoods of Beirut, the Lebanese capital. So far, Israeli defenses have managed to shoot down all the projectiles.
In a statement released by the Tasnim agency, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) claimed to have fired ballistic missiles against the Ramat David air baselocated about 20 kilometers from the city of Haifa, in northern Israel. According to the organization, this military installation was the Israeli “source of aggression” directed against southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Likewise, the commander of the IRGC, Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya, assured that if Tel Aviv continues to attack that region or if it responds to Iran’s attacks, “it will be met with forceful blows.” In addition, he has threatened “devastating attacks against the regime and its supporters.” The Revolutionary Guard has assured that the ceasefire agreement was conditional on the end of the conflict on all fronts and has blamed the United States and Israel for not fulfilling their parts.
