Iranian missiles rained down on Israel in the early hours on Monday amid calls for allies to form an Islamic Army to wage terror against Tel Aviv.

Israel–Iran war updates

At least three Israelis were killed and seventy-four more injured when a barrage of Iranian missiles breached Israel’s multi-layered defense systems, hitting both Tel Aviv and the port city of Haifa. 

The retaliatory strikes destroyed homes and residential buildings, with fires burning at a power plant near the port hours after Israel killed three more high-ranking security figures, destroyed Iran’s main nuclear facility in Natanz and raised the prospect of a ‘regime change.’  

Countries that will make up Islamic Army

Iran gas also signalled its intent to involve allies in waging war against the Jewish state by forming an ‘Islamic Army’ with several other countries in the Middle East.

Top Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee told Iranian state media that the regime wants to unite with ‘Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and several other countries’ to create an ‘Islamic army’ amid its ongoing conflict against Israel.

Iran threatened to leave the country ‘uninhabitable’ before claiming that 224 Iranians had died and more than 1,200 had been injured in strikes since Friday.
