The Iranian Revolutionary Guard today reported a missile and drone attack on Israel's military centres in Tel Aviv, Haifa (north) and Beersheba (centre) , andon the defence industries , as well as on Nevatim and Hatzerim airbases.
The Revolutionary Guard has described the 17th wave of attacks on Israel since the beginning of the conflict as a sign of the "power of ballistic missiles" and has claimed to have attacked numerous military and defensive infrastructures.
Israel admits there have been impacts on Haifa and the centre and south of the country, and the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) has confirmed that a 16-year-old has been seriously injured.
According to the MDA, 23 wounded have been taken to hospital following the attack on Haifa, including the 16-year-old and two men aged 54 and 40 with shrapnel wounds.
The new attack has been celebrated by Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei: "The Zionist enemy is being punished. Now he is already being punished." You can read in one of his profiles on the social network X along with a large column of smoke and a photo in which you could read "Haifa right now."
Hours earlier, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has reported that the Israeli media Channel 14 has been attacked "as a means of Zionist propaganda" and warned shortly before the bombing, as Israel did a few days ago against Iranian public television.
For his part, Iranian Foreign Minister Abas Araqchi has said that they are prepared to 'resume diplomacy when the attack is stopped and the aggressor is tried', in statements in Geneva following a meeting with the heads of diplomacy of France, Germany and the United Kingdom and the EU's High Representative for Foreign Policy.

Putin's concern
Russian President Vladimir Putin has admitted that he is "deeply concerned" about the possibility of a Third World War: "I am concerned. I say this without irony or joking."
At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Russian President has assured us that Moscow does not want to take on the role of mediator in the conflict between Israel and Iran, but "put forward ideas" to resolve the situation.
Moreover, Putin has expressed his hope that the Israeli threat of a possible assassination of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei will be merely rhetoric.
