Description

Missiles were caught on camera in the night sky over Bethlehem on Tuesday, after Iran launched a massive attack on Israel.

Footage shows some being intercepted by Israel's defences, as well as locals shouting and watching the projectiles pass overhead.

The IDF stated that 180 missiles were launched, coming down in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other areas. Two injuries were reported as well as the death of a Palestinian in the West Bank.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran had made a 'big mistake' and warned of 'consequences', while US President Joe Biden, who admitted his military had assisted in shooting down some of the rockets, called the assault 'defeated and ineffective'.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the strikes were in response to the assassinations of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoshan in Lebanon, as well as the death of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Israel has never commented on the latter's killing.

In April, the IRGC launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards Israel following a suspected Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

On Tuesday, Israel also began a 'limited and targeted' ground incursion into Lebanon, following a week-long campaign of airstrikes in the south of the country.
