On October 1, the Revolutionary Guards said the nearly 200 rockets fired by Iran at Israel were a retaliatory measure after the assassination of Nilforoushan, Nasrallah and Palestinian Hamas leader Ismail Haniya in July.
Israel has since vowed to respond. Defense Minister Yoav Gallad said the attack would be “lethal, precise and spectacular,” with Tehran responding that it was “ready.”
