Reporting Iranian missile attacks in the Tel Aviv area, Israel’s military said Tuesday that search and rescue forces, along with numerous emergency teams, are currently operating at impact sites in central Israel. This comes as the US-Israel war against Iran continues into its fourth day.

On the impact of the attacks, the military said: “The circumstances are under review.”

Israel’s ambulance service said it was treating three people with minor injuries at the scene.

Israeli police reported several hit zones with ammunition fragments in the Tel Aviv district.

Target of Iran attacks

Iran’s attacks have targeted Israel, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. In many regions, debris and injuries have been attributed not to the attacks but to the interceptors who thwarted them.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in a letter to the UN, said they would use “all necessary capabilities and defensive measures” to counter US-Israeli attacks. “Accordingly, all bases, facilities and assets of hostile forces in the region are considered legitimate military objectives. Iran will exercise this inherent right decisively until the aggression is completely and unequivocally stopped,” he wrote.

He also said Al Jazeera“We are not attacking our neighbors in the Persian Gulf countries, we are targeting the US presence in these countries. The neighbors should direct their complaints to the decision makers in this war.”
