Deep dives
Iran's Direct Attack on Israel
Iran launched its first direct attack on Israeli soil, shooting hundreds of missiles and drones at multiple targets around the country, causing concern for a possible broader war in the Middle East. The attack consisted of three waves, starting with drones, followed by cruise missiles and then ballistic missiles, with most of the weapons being intercepted by Israel and its allies. Despite some damage and injuries, the attack was repelled mainly due to Israel's sophisticated defense systems and the strategic targeting of military sites by Iran.
