Deep dives
Iran's Missile Attack on Israel
Iran launched a significant missile barrage against Israel, firing approximately 180 ballistic missiles targeting key locations such as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. This act was framed by Iranian leaders as a legal and justifiable retaliation for the recent assassination of prominent Iranian terror leaders by Israel. Despite the scale of the attack, Israeli officials reported that the majority of the missiles were intercepted by their advanced air defense systems. However, some missiles did manage to hit civilian areas, resulting in injuries and damage, which has heightened tensions and fears of larger regional escalations.
