Iran announces new retaliatory strike as 9 million settlers advised to take shelter

Iran's Army has announced a new round of retaliatory strikes against targets in the Israeli-occupied territories as Israeli media report the blaring of sirens in the city of Tel Aviv and its surroundings. 

The Islamic Republic's Army issued a statement on Tuesday, announcing targeting of oil and gas refineries as well as fuel storage tanks in the occupied port of Haifa.

The reprisal, the statement noted, took place using attack drones deployed by the country's Air Force.

The retaliation came in response to "the attack on Iran’s oil depots," it read.

"The battle against the criminal United States and the child-killing Zionist regime will continue until the final victory of the front of truth over falsehood."

Meanwhile, the Israeli regime's "home front" provided the information on Tuesday, saying the latest reprisal has also featured missile launches.

It also reported that sirens had also gone off throughout illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank after "spotting" of incoming Iranian missiles.

The forces said the regime's missile systems were trying to intercept the projectiles.

Reports also pointed to going off of sirens elsewhere in the occupied territories, including the holy occupied city of al-Quds and as many as "263 other spots."

The situation has prompted more than nine million illegal settlers to seek shelter, they added.

Since late last month, the Israeli regime and the United States have begun a new bout of unprovoked aggression towards the Islamic Republic.

Iran's Armed Forces began dozens of rounds of reprisal momentarily afterwards, targeting sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.

Among others, prominent targets have featured hostile objects in the city of Tel Aviv, the holy occupied city of al-Quds, and the occupied city of Be'er Sheva, which serves as the Israeli regime's technology hub, as well as the US's Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and an American destroyer in the Indian Ocean.

This is a developing story.
