Iran launches dozens of drones toward Israel

The IDF announced on Saturday night that Iran has launched dozens of drones directly from its territory against Israel, in a radical change from its usual use of proxies.

The military said that it is ready to shoot them down, though air defense is not hermetic.

The IDF's shoot-down capabilities include aircraft, Iron Dome, David's Sling, and the Arrow missile system.

In addition, the military can use GPS scrambling to disable certain kinds of attacking drones.

725 red alerts were sounded in Israel.
About 150 missiles were launched into Israel.
99% of the missiles and UAVs were intercepted by 4 layers of defense from the air from the sea and the land, in Israel and abroad.

Will Israel take advantage of the opportunity and change the world and put the Iranian nuclear project out of sight?

 
Senior American officials:
"Iran launched 150 missiles from its territory at the State of Israel."
• 80 missiles were launched in the first barrage.
• 70 missiles were launched in the second barrage.

 
Alert!

Israel’s war cabinet just approved a powerful response on Iranian soil.


I'd like to see Israel nuke every nuclear site that Iran has. The fallout from that would keep Iran busy for a while.

It won't surprise me if diben insists that Israel not retaliate but if you let a country do as Iran has done, they'll just up the ante the next time and feel safe doing it. Peace comes through strength and strength sometimes requires severe punishment of an enemy that has done something as foolish as this.

And After "Diben" is finished appeasing Iran, they will leave Israel, the "little satan" as they call them, and then they will turn around and go after the "Big satan" the US.
 
IDF spokesman: The event is not yet over, there are more threats on the way, at this moment the Air Force planes are intercepting cruise missiles outside the borders of the State of Israel.

Iran has sought to turn drone threats into its version of the Soviet AK-47, a deadly weapon system used in copious amounts, exported to its proxies. An explainer.​

The decision by Iran to use drones to target Israel on April 13, lifts a curtain on a new era of drone warfare. Drones have been used for years by many countries. For instance, Israel was one of the first countries in the world to pioneer the use of drones in warfare back in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The US used the Predator drone, first for surveillance in the 1990s and then for targeted strikes in the early 2000s. China became a drone superpower, primarily in the commercial field with sales of DJI drones. Now the Iranian drone era is here. It is an era of Iran’s drone wars and Israel is now an increasing target.
