Israel claims it hit key explosives production facility in Iran
The Israeli military said on Tuesday that it has attacked Iran’s main explosives production facility.
The site in Isfahan was bombed during last year’s war. However, Iran’s leadership had been working in recent months to restore the facility’s capabilities.
The Israeli Air Force targeted dozens of sites in Iran during the course of the day, including missile launch pads, the Israeli military said in a statement. The information could not initially be independently verified.
Meanwhile, Israel came under renewed rocket fire from Iran on Tuesday evening, with warning sirens wailing in the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv and other cities.
One of the missiles fired from Iran is said to have been equipped with cluster munitions, according to Israeli media reports.
Iran recently confirmed the use of the munitions, which are condemned internationally.
Israeli police said there were strikes in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service reported that several people were injured, including a child, in a suburb of Tel Aviv. A residential building was reportedly hit.
