Iran fires missiles at Israel

Israel came under attack on Tuesday, with strikes from Lebanon in the north, and Iran in the east. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps called the attack a direct retaliation for Israel’s assassinations of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, and of top Hamas and Iranian leaders in separate recent attacks. Michael Hanna with the International Crisis Group tells The World’s Carol Hills that Tuesday’s events are a continuation of the “wider war” the international community has been anxiously anticipating.
