Iran and Israel exchange more strikes

Israel and Iran continued exchanging airstrikes on Tuesday, with both sides claiming to have inflicted significant damages to each other.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced that it has launched a successful missile attack on a major center of Mossad spy agency in Tel Aviv, according to the state-run Tasnim news agency. 

It said that the Iranian military has hit the AMAN (Israeli Military Intelligence) and Mossad center in Tel Aviv. 

Meanwhile, the Iranian Fars news agency claimed that the Iranian strikes have paralyzed Tel Aviv.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Iran launched 30 missiles at Israel in its attack earlier this morning.

The Israeli military earlier said it killed Iranian military commander Ali Shadmani in a strike on Tehran last night. Shadmani took over as chief of the headquarters which plans joint military operations between the elite IRGC force and the regular Iranian army. He took over in the role after his predecessor Gholamali Rashid was killed in an Israeli strike last week, the BBC reported.

In a television interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had significantly damaged Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missiles programmes – but added that his forces still needed more time, according to the BBC.

The Israeli military struck the headquarters of Iran's state broadcaster in Tehran on June 16, killing three employees, according to local state media.

Israel launched what it calls Operation Rising Lion against Iran's nuclear facilities in the early hours of Friday, calling it a preemptive strike designed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran has denied plans to develop such weapons. Tehran retaliated by launching counterstrikes on Israel.

Iran reported over 220 casualties, mostly civilians. Israel said 24 people have died in the Iranian counterstrikes.
