On Wednesday night, Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched a massive retaliatory operation in response to the killing of security chief Ali Larijani.

The IRGC subsequently declared that its missiles had hit more than 100 military and security targets on Israeli territory as "revenge" for the killing of Larijani, his son, and an advisor. The Guards stated that they launched a combined drone and missile attack on Tel Aviv and areas in central Israel. Al Jazeera ↗
