In a shocking turn of events, the Israeli military spokesperson has reported that approximately 350 rockets were fired by Iran towards Israel. The attack, which took place overnight, was successfully thwarted by Israel’s defensive coalition.
According to IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari, the rockets were launched from various locations including Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. These rockets were said to carry about 60 tonnes of explosives, posing a significant threat not only to Israel but to the entire Middle East region.
Hagari emphasized that Iran’s actions were a clear escalation of tensions in the region, as Iranian forces also seized a Portuguese-flagged ship. Israeli President Isaac Herzog echoed these sentiments, stating that Iran’s drones are causing harm worldwide through its proxies and calling for a united front against the country.
In response to the attack, US forces intercepted over 70 one-way attack drones and at least 3 ballistic missiles fired towards Israel. The ballistic missiles were intercepted by warships in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with US fighter jets also playing a crucial role in neutralizing the threat.
This latest escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel highlights the volatile situation in the Middle East and the need for international cooperation to prevent further conflict. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
