Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Israel’s attacks on two civilian nuclear sites and steel factories would have a heavy price to pay, while Iran’s military warned the US and Israel that they were playing with fire by attacking Iran’s energy infrastructure. The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said no radioactive material was leaked from the attack on the Ardakan yellowcake production plant, which was also attacked along with the Khondab heavy water facility. Lebanon’s Health Ministry says 1,142 people have been killed and 3,315 injured in Israeli strikes across the country since March 2. 28 days after the Iran-Israel war, now Houthi rebels have also joined it. According to an Israeli newspaper, Iran-backed Houthi rebels present in Yemen have fired ballistic missiles targeting Israel’s southern city of Beersheba and surrounding areas, about two thousand kilometers away. According to the Israeli Army, the air defense system was activated as soon as the missile launch was detected and the threat was destroyed in the air. There is no news of anyone being injured in this attack. This is believed to be the first attack on Israel from Yemen during the current war.
