Iran fired nearly 180-odd ballistic missiles Tuesday night at Israel in retaliation to Israel's campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, which included the killing of Hezbollah commander Hassan Nasrallah and other leaders. 

Israeli Defence officials claimed they successfully destroyed most of the missiles, but several landed on multiple sites, including one of the missiles landed near  Israeli's intelligence service, Mossad's headquarters, leaving a nearly 50-foot wide crater.

Tuesday's attack targeted multiple locations, including two Israeli military bases and Mossad headquarters, reported ANI, citing Iranian state television.

Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Mohammad Bagheri, told Press TV that the Nevatim air base, the Netzarim military facility and the Tel Nof intelligence unit were hit last night, dubbing the October 1 attack as ‘Operation True Promise II’, reported ANI.

Nick Schifrin of PBS, an American TV news, shared visuals of the giant crater formed by the ballistic missile attack near the Mossad HQ. As of now, the Israeli government has not officially confirmed the attack near Mossad HQ.

The video shows a huge crater near what appears to be a parking lot, with Schifrin describing it as “30 feet deep and maybe 50 feet wide.” At the end of the video, he also pointed to a white building behind him, which he identified as the Mossad HQ.

Iran deliberately didn't attack civilians, says Bagheri

In a statement to Press TV, Mohammad Bagheri said that Iran deliberately did not attack civilian targets and infrastructure, reported ANI

He described the attack as retaliation to Israel's killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan and the September 27 killing of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, he added.

“Based on legitimate rights and with the aim of peace and security for Iran and the region, a decisive response was given to the aggression of the Zionist regime. This action was in defence of the interests and citizens of Iran. Let Netanyahu know that Iran is not a belligerent, but it stands firmly against any threat. This is only a corner of our power. Do not enter into a conflict with Iran,” Pezeshkian said in a post on X shared in Persian.
