According to multiple reports, Iran has launched over a dozen ballistic missiles that the country claims are capable of hitting Israel during the course of an “ongoing major military exercise” this week.

Although the exact number of missiles launched has not been confirmed, Iran’s state news agency claims that a total of 16 surface-to-surface ballistic missiles were launched as part of the exercise. Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri claimed that the missiles all simultaneously hit the same target, a claim that has not yet been independently verified. Bagheri also stated that the launches were in response to Israel’s “massive but pointless threats” to Iran.

According to the Times of Israel, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Major General Hossein Salami also added, “The military exercise… is a serious warning to Zionist regime officials… Make the slightest mistake, we will cut off their hand.”

The United States Department of State does not appear to have commented on the launch, and requests for comment were not immediately returned.
