Amid global conflicts, Iran has launched over 200 missiles and drone attacks against Israel after midnight. The arsenal ranged from killer drones to ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Blasts and sirens resonate in multiple cities, including Jerusalem, and the nation has fortified its defenses. The Israeli Army activated its aerial defense system, maintaining high alert.
It's rumored that Iran intends to escalate its missile attacks in the coming hours, declaring these as punishments for Israel’s continuous offenses. The Iranian military named the attacks 'Operation to Promise.'
The U.S. and Israeli forces have intercepted many of the launched missiles and drones, though some have struck military bases, causing minimal damage. Israel has effectively used the Arrow Aerial Defense System to counter the majority of the missile threats over Al-Aqsa's Golden Dome.
In the wake of the attack, Israeli PM Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed the evolving situation. An emergency UN meeting has been called today.
IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Haggari confirmed Iran has commenced direct attacks on Israel. Surveillance over Iranian killer drones remains rigorous.
