Iran launched 220 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday night, according to a U.S. official. The attack was in protest of Israel's recent operations against the Tehran-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, including the assassination of its leader Hassan Nasrallah on Sept. 27.

A U.N. human rights official condemned Israeli attacks in Lebanon, accusing its military of using “the same means and methods of warfare” as in Gaza.

In an attack of its own, Hezbollah fired 180 “projectiles” into Israel, according to the Israeli military, which said most were intercepted.
