Iran Launches Drone and Missile Attack Against Israel

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says that more than 200 missiles and drones have been launched from Iran at targets in Israel. Iran says this latest attack is a response to an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, that killed seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) leaders.

U.S. officials have confirmed the Iranian attack, and believe 400-500 missiles and drones in total will be fired at Israel.

Israel’s Iron Dome air-defense system has already shot down many of the incoming Iranian drones and missiles, and Israeli, U.S., and U.K. aircraft are being used to intercept them as well.
