Iran's missile attack on Israel

The Ynet portal reported that the Iranian side launched rockets towards Israel. An attack was carried out on the Israeli Ramat David airbase and on the military near the historic Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon.

"The Ramat David airbase has been shelled by ballistic missiles," the military of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.

The airspace in the west of the country was closed. Later, Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to Iran's supreme leader, called the attacks on Israel a warning to stop the strikes on Beirut.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stated that it will not tolerate violations of the ceasefire or aggression against Lebanon. The aggressors received their response tonight. This response is a warning to them to stop their atrocities," he wrote on his page on the social network X.

Later, the head of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araqchi, held telephone conversations with the Commander of the Pakistan Defense Forces, Asim Munir, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper.
