UN special coordinator says ‘relentless’ Israeli strikes mean nowhere is safe for civilians after attack on Beit Lahiya
Tehran is still bracing for Israeli retaliation for Iran’s missile attack on the country on 1 October 2024. The strikes, which Iran said were aimed at military bases, were largely thwarted by Israel’s aerial defences with support from its western allies. Iran said the attack was launched in retaliation for Israel’s assassination of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders and Israel’s war on Gaza and assault on Lebanon.
The US is now investigating a leak of highly classified US intelligence about Israel’s plans for retaliation against Iran. Israel has not said how it will respond, but it could try to strike Iran’s cluster of missile and drone bases, its economic infrastructure or its oil terminals/facilities. Washington has not denied that the leaked files, which appear to be the US’s assessment of Israel’s preparations, are authentic.
