Israel’s Iron Dome could not uphold its defense when Iran’s hypersonic ballistic missiles and Shaed drones dropped massively into Tel Aviv on Tuesday night.
The attack which began around 8:pm GMT, saw a wave of missiles flying over the city of Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel.
Alarms were heard across Israel and a series of explosions were heard in Jerusalem and the Jordan River valley. The Israelis were reported running into their bomb shelters in a panic mode.
Prodesq, gathered that the Iranian attack was a retaliation against Israel for its attack against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday last week in Beirut.
The missile attacks which began after Israel began their ground assault against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon after a failed attempt on Sunday night.
Iran which has vowed to retaliate against Israel for its incursion into Lebanon and Gaza sent an envoy message to the United Nations on Tuesday night after the attack which was also posted on the Iran United Nations Mission X account, said that,
“Iran’s legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime—which involved targeting Iranian nationals and interests and infringing upon the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran—has been duly carried out. Should the Zionist regime dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence, a subsequent and crushing response will ensue. Regional states and the Zionists’ supporters are advised to part ways with the regime.”
However, the Jordanian government has claimed to have shot down several of the Iranian missiles that flew over its airspace with the help from the United States military stationed in the country.
President Biden has also issued a statement condemning the Iranian attack on Israel and also voiced his support for Israel, he disclosed this on his X account, Biden said,
“We discussed how the United States is prepared to help Israel defend against these attacks, and protect American personnel in the region,”.
Israeli President, Isaac Herzog, has announced that the Iranian attack on Israel will set a precedent for a new era in the region while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised a tougher response against Iran.
