A news outlet affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps taunted Israel in the wake of an Iranian missile attack on Tuesday.

It referred to the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel nearly a year ago and noted that the Islamic Republic was now striking the Jewish state directly.

"The 7th of October was carried out by Iran's proxies, and the 1st of October is done by Iran itself. Happy October,” IRGC-affiliated Saberin News said in a post on Telegram.

There were no immediate reports of injuries from an Iranian missile attack on Israel on Tuesday, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said televised remarks.

The attack was serious and will bear consequences, he said, adding that there were no indications of further imminent threats from Iran - a possible sign that Tehran may have finished its latest volley.
