Tel Aviv: Israel braces for unprecedented assault as Iranian drones swarm towards targets; military gears up to counter the threat. In an unprecedented move, Iran launched a barrage of over 100 drones directly at Israel from its territory, marking the first-ever direct assault by the Islamic Republic on the Jewish state. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are currently on high alert, tracking the incoming drones and preparing to intercept them.
Confirming the attack, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated late Saturday night that the anticipated assault had indeed begun. The magnitude of the attack became evident as Iran’s Revolutionary Guards acknowledged launching dozens of drones and missiles aimed at specific targets within Israel, as reported by Iranian state media.
While Iranian state media quoted an anonymous official mentioning the launch of ballistic missiles, Israeli officials have not yet corroborated this claim. However, Israeli assessments indicate that more than 100 drones have been deployed in the attack.
The Israeli Air Force remains vigilant, actively monitoring the drones and bracing for potential subsequent waves of assaults, which may include missile strikes. As tensions escalate in the region, Israel prepares to defend against this unprecedented act of aggression.
