Iran Claims Strike on Mossad HQ in Tel Aviv; Israel Denies (VIDEO)

Iran on Tuesday claimed to have launched a missile attack on Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad's headquarters near Tel Aviv, according to state news agency Tasnim. Unverified Visuals on social media showed buildings engulfed in flames.

"The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced that it has launched a successful missile attack on a major center of the Zionist regime’s Mossad (aka AMAN) spy agency in Tel Aviv," Iran's state news agency Tasnim reported.

Israeli military has said the strikes hit a bus parking lot and said it has struck certain sites in western Iran.

Iran and Israel have traded attacks since the latter launched 'Operation Rising Lion' on June 13. Iranian strikes since Friday have killed more than a dozen people in Israel, while Iran's health ministry claims at least 224 people were killed and more than 1,200 have been reported injured in Israeli strikes.

Civilian areas in both countries have suffered deadly strikes since the hostilities broke out Friday. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed Iran for allegedly targeting civilians.
