Iran's strikes on Israeli territory signal a major increase in tensions between the two nations. The attacks occurred late Saturday night, prompting air raid alerts across Israel as explosions lit up the sky.
The Israeli military reported that Iran launched over 300 drones and missiles towards Israel with the attacks originating from several countries, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
Some Iranian missiles hit inside Israel, causing minor damage to a military base, according to an IDF spokesperson.
US President Joe Biden confirmed US assistance in intercepting most of the missiles and drones.
British RAF Typhoon fighter jets intercepted drones, while Jordan claimed to have intercepted flying objects in its airspace.
Iran claimed the attack achieved its goals and warned against Israeli retaliation.
These strikes signify a significant escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict, raising concerns about further violence in the region.
