Reports claiming Israeli Defense Minister died in an Iranian missile attack on October 1, 2024, are false, according to his spokesperson. Social media posts had spread the misinformation of Yoav Gallant’s death following Tehran’s launch of over 180 ballistic missiles in response to Israel’s recent strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Gallant’s spokesperson confirmed he is alive, and Gallant later posted a photo of himself meeting personnel involved in missile interception. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also confirmed speaking with Gallant about Israel’s defence efforts. The Israeli Defence Forces stated most of the missiles were intercepted, with only minor hits in central and southern Israel. Iran Attacks Israel: ‘Tehran Fully Ready for Any Retaliation,’ Senior Official Says After Bombarding Tel Aviv.
