Various reports pinned the number of ballistic missiles fired from inside Iran at Israel during the first wave of the attack at approximately 100. It appears that Iran fired another 100 missiles in a second wave.

Videos circulated online appeared to show the moment that some of the ballistic missiles exploded on the ground.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated terrorist organization, said that the attack came in response to Israel killing Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Video was also released from the IRGC showing ballistic missiles launched targeting Israel.
