Photos: Iran's Missile Strike on Israel

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that the attack was a response to Israel's killing of the chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, and Iranian Brig. Gen. Abbas Nilforoshan, an IRGC commander.

Iran reported it had used the hypersonic Fatteh-2 missiles during the attack – the projectiles are able to maneuver at a speed of more than 16,000 kilometers per hour.
