Debris-strewn highway - Iranian missile strikes Jerusalem road, injuring six as retaliation escalates

Debris-strewn highway - Iranian missile strikes Jerusalem road, injuring six as retaliation escalates

"First responders and police arrived at the site of a rocket-struck busy highway in the Jerusalem region on Sunday, as the attack reportedly injured six. Footage from the scene shows police officers working at the site of the missile impact, with debris scattered across the roadway. Multiple police vehicles and ambulances can be seen parked along the highway as first responders treat the wounded and secure the area. Authorities said the injured were taken to the hospital for treatment, while security forces launched an investigation into the strike. The attack comes amid sharply escalating regional tensions following exchanges of strikes between the United States, Israel and Iran. Iranian state television earlier confirmed that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who had ruled since 1989 and held ultimate authority over the country's political, military and religious institutions, was killed in strikes carried out on Saturday. Iranian officials warned that his killing would mark a turning point, with the Revolutionary Guard vowing retaliation and declaring that "this great crime will not go unpunished." Israeli leaders indicated that operations were ongoing, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signalling that further action against Iran was planned."
