Was Any Damage Caused On Israel Soil?
Hundreds of drones targeted Israel on Saturday evening. Iran released 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles. Additionally, 120 ballistic missiles. Most of the weapons were destroyed. Contrarily, some ballistic missiles reached Israel. However, there was no significant damage.
Daniel Hagari, an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson, confirmed an air base was hit. Although there were no causalities, minor damage was recorded.
A 10-year-old girl was “severely injured by shrapnel,” Hagari stated. However, he was not aware of casualties.
Israel’s military forces use a system called the Arrow system. It eliminated ballistic missiles and caught most of the air strikes.
Israel admitted there were “strategic partners” that assisted.
What Did Biden Say?
President Joe Biden stated the US caught “nearly” all the weapons.
“At my direction, to support the defense of Israel, the US military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week,” he said.
Furthermore, Hagari considered the interception “a very significant strategic success.”
Moreover, the leader of the free world stated he would gather allies to plan a united response.
Why Did Iran Attack Israel?
This is Iran’s first bombing of Israel. Roughly two weeks ago, Iran suspected Israeli forces bombed their territory. As a result, two Iranian generals were killed in a consular building.
The United Nations opposed Iran’s actions. Furthermore, France stated Iran “is risking a potential military escalation.” Moreover, the Brits said the air attacks were “reckless.”
