JERUSALEM, Undefined (AFP) — An Israeli military official said Iran fired nearly 30 missiles towards Israel since Sunday night, in the first exchange of fire between the two countries since a truce in April.

“Last night the Iranian regime began firing ballistic missiles towards Israel… they fired close to 30 ballistic missiles towards Israel,” the official told journalists on Monday, adding that Yemen’s Houthi rebels separately fired two missiles at the country.

Israel’s military said earlier Monday it had struck several targets at a petrochemical complex in Mahshahr in southwestern Iran in retaliation.
