Watch: Iran's missiles leave massive crater near Mossad HQ

Send Push
Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation against Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah 's killing, targeting two of Isarel's key military bases and intelligence service headquarters, Mossad.

Iran fired around 200 ballistic missiles, which left 30 feet deep and 50 feet wide crater located at a distance of around 1,500 meters away from the Mossad headquarters. The video which showed the craters and debris outside Mossad’s headquarters went viral on social media.



Iran late on Tuesday fired ballistic missiles targeting two military bases of Israel and the headquarters of Mossad, Israel's intelligence service, claimed Iranian state television, citing Mohammad Bagheri, Iran's top military officer.


An official from Iran stated that two of Israel's military bases were targeted late Tuesday night. The bases are the Nevatim air base, the Netzarim military facility, and the Tel Nof intelligence unit. Iran named the operation " Operation True Promise II ."

Bagheri, the Iranian official, shared this information with a local media outlet.

Iran attacks Israel

Iran on Tuesday launched a barrage of rockets, including ballistic missiles, near Tel Aviv which comes amid Israel's unabated aerial action against Tehan-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon in an apparent bid to avenge Israeli military action against its proxies.

Iran's retaliatory action to avenge Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah's assassination was looming large, even as the US had cautioned Israel that the Khamenei regime might attack it.

Meanwhile, Israel activated its iron dome to prevent damage from Iranian missiles and urged its citizens to hide in bomb shelters, with sirens blaring across the Jewish nation.

The Shiite theocratic state's direct engagement with Israel has deepened the fear of wider escalation in the Middle East region, which has already been at the brink ever since Palestinian militant group Hamas's October 7 attack last year, triggering prolonged war in Gaza.

Netanyahu vows to make Tehran pay

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to make Tehran pay after it launched around two hundred missiles at Israel.

"Iran made a big mistake tonight and will pay for it," said Netanyahu hours after the attack, and warned: "Whoever attacks us, we attack them."

The attack comes amid a ongoing crisis in the Middle East, threatening to escalate into a full-scale regional war.

As the air raid sirens went off across Israel at night, residents rushed into bomb shelters, witnessing the missile trails illuminating the night sky. Despite the scale of the attack, Israel reported only minor damage and few injuries.
