๐ฎ๐ฑ Israel sustains Iranian missile barrage, intercepting majority with US assistance
๐ฎ๐ฑ Israel faces Iranian missile barrage, intercepting majority with US assistance. Netanyahu vows swift retaliation as regional tensions soar to new heights. 6 killed in Tel Aviv shooting amid chaos. IDF's Lebanon invasion decimates Hezbollah's arsenal, killing its leader.
Iran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel, U.S. says
Iran fired a barrage of nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday, U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters, in what Tehran said was retaliation for the recent killings of top Hezbollah and Hamas officials. Sirens were heard across Israel as people took shelter, and streaks of flame lit up the skies. Authorities have since said the attack is over. Most of the missiles fired by Iran were intercepted โ including with help from U.S. naval destroyers โ but there were โa few hits,โ Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said. Several people were reported injured. The strikes follow Israelโs killing last week of Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah, a key Tehran ally, and the start of an Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon.

Iran has just fired a, seemingly, massive missile barrage at Israel. Air-raid sirens are going off across the country.

Iran's launch on Israel looks more face-saving than deterring, especially since Iran is calling it retaliation for Israel killing Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in Julyโfor which Iran vowed retaliationโand for Israel killing Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in September, plus other things.

Iran says there will be no further attacks on Israel unless Netanyahu chooses to respond.
