LIVE Israel-Iran latest updates: IDF threatens 'significant retaliation' to Iran's missile barrage as ground operations intensify in Lebanon against Hezbollah sparking World War III fears By James Reynolds and Chris Jewers Published: 08:31, 2 October 2024 | Updated: 08:31, 2 October 2024 e-mail View comments Advertisement Israel has vowed a 'significant retaliation' to Iran 's attack last night which saw Tehran fire a barrage of missiles in revenge for Israel's campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, including the assassination of its leader. A retaliation to the attack would come within days and could target oil production facilities inside Iran and other strategic sites, US news website Axios reported on Wednesday - citing Israeli officials. As the missile assault unfolded, news also broke of a deadly shooting in Tel Aviv, leaving at least six people dead.
Police said two suspects opened fire on a boulevard in the Jaffa neighbourhood, and were also killed in the attack. Israel's vow to retaliate came as the IDF said today that regular infantry and armoured units were joining ground operations in southern Lebanon, but said they would remain limited and localised in scope. Israel said on Tuesday that commando and paratrooper units had crossed a short distance over the border in the first publicly announced ground operation in Lebanon, and subsequently said that special forces units had been carrying out ground raids against Hezbollah targets across the border for months.
