A group of young Palestinian men take photos of a fallen rocket-propelled grenade, believed to have been fired by Iran, in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank last night.

While Israel will decide when and how to respond to the Iranian missile attack, its response “will be noticed,” said Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN. “It will be painful.”

“And I think the Iranian people who are watching us understand that it is not against the Iranian people, but against the radical regime that put the Iranian people in this situation,” he added.

The US Embassy in Israel has lifted a shelter-in-place order for US government employees and their family members, saying the threat of rocket fire has subsided. It says previous travel restrictions remain in place.

“The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is continuously and closely monitoring the security situation,” the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs said in a message on X.

Hezbollah said its fighters today forced an Israeli infantry force to withdraw from Lebanon’s southern city of Adaisseh.

The Israeli soldiers tried to “infiltrate” Adaisseh, but Hezbollah clashed with them, “causing losses” to the force and eventually repelled them, the Iran-backed militant group said in a statement.

The IDF has not yet commented on the claims, which are said to represent the first known clashes between the two sides on the ground in Lebanon.

The Israeli army says infantry and armor units will join the invasion of southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah.

“The 36th Division, including soldiers from the Golani Brigade, the 188th Armored Brigade, the 6th Infantry Brigade and additional troops join the limited, localized, targeted attacks on Hezbollah terror targets and terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon that began on Monday ,” the IDF said. said in a message on Telegram.

“The soldiers are accompanied by the IAF and the 282nd Artillery Brigade.”

Iran has “no intention to continue its attacks,” Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said today, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, adding that its attacks on Israel last night were “a legitimate defensive right.”

“Any new move by the regime or its supporters will face an even harsher response from Iran,” he said. Aragchi said Iran, through a message to the Swiss embassy, ​​also warned the US to “stand aside and not interfere.” He later said on state television that there had been no exchange of messages with the US before the attack.

Iran launched nearly 200 missiles at several Israeli military targets last night, which Aragchi said could restore “geopolitical deterrence in the region.”

Israeli officials say Iran has launched 180 ballistic missiles at Israel after days of Israeli attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. A large number of the rockets were intercepted by Israeli and American defenses. Israeli officials said they were not aware of any casualties. Six people were killed in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, Israeli police said.
