Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had launched a new wave of missiles against Israel, Iranian media reported.
A man was injured by shrapnel in Kfar Yuval in the Galilee Panhandle in northern Israel, according to a preliminary report from Magen David Adom, Israel’s emergency medical service.
The missile launches are part of ongoing Iranian strikes that began Feb. 28, targeting Israel and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Tehran states the attacks are retaliation for a US-Israeli military campaign against Iran that has killed hundreds, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior military officials.
Some strikes have caused casualties and damage to civilian sites, including ports and residential buildings.[]
