Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and key members of his war cabinet have taken refuge in an underground bunker as Iranian missile strikes target the occupied Palestinian territories.

Israeli media outlets, citing anonymous government sources, reported that the beleaguered Prime Minister has been moved to an undisclosed underground location following a series of ballistic missile strikes by Iran targeting several cities within the occupied territories.

According to reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet were in the occupied city of Jerusalem al-Quds during an Iranian retaliatory military strike, which consisted of launching hundreds of long-range ballistic missiles.

A retaliatory operation commenced at approximately 8:15 local time on Tuesday, following the assassination of Hezbollah resistance movement leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and several associates in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburb on Friday, three days prior.

In a post-operation declaration, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for launching the assault as retaliation for the killings of Nasrallah, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan. Iran has initiated a missile strike targeting the Zionist entity, according to sources. [Link]— Press TV 🔻 (@PressTV) October 1, 2024.

Nilforoushan and Nasrallah were assassinated in Dahiyeh this past Friday.

On August 1, Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting his residence in Tehran, merely a day after participating in the inauguration ceremony of President Masoud Pezeshkian.

According to recent reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed his cabinet ministers to seek cover in response to a wave of Iranian missile attacks.

Israeli media sources have confirmed significant damage to critical military installations, according to initial assessments.

Authorities have yet to confirm the number of casualties resulting from the attacks.
