BREAKING NEWS IRAN ATTACKS ISRAEL

[CharlieH]

Israel's defence system stood firm on Tuesday night as Iran unleashed a barrage of nearly 200 missiles across the country, sparking fears from world leaders that the escalation could plunge the Middle East into an all-out war.

 

Iran launched multiple waves of missiles targeting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in retaliation for Israel's recent military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon, including the assassination of its leader the previous week.

Air raid sirens blared as 181 missiles were fired toward Israel, with several rockets bursting into bright orange flames near Tel Aviv as they were intercepted by Israel's 'Iron Dome' defense system. The missiles, ordered by Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, streaked across the night sky like comets as they were destroyed mid-flight.

The attack, which Israel vowed to retaliate against, caused panic as civilians took shelter from falling debris. Chunks of molten metal crashed to the ground, though the offensive was hailed as 'heroic' by Hamas. This marks a significant escalation in the conflict, with the scale of the attack being 'twice the size' of a similar Iranian bombardment in April, involving more than 170 drones and 120 ballistic missiles.

In a setback for Iran, the U.S. declared the missile barrage "defeated and ineffective," resulting in just one reported fatality: a Palestinian man in the West Bank, who was killed by shrapnel.

Yep, time for Israel to open up and get rid of Iranian leadership.

 

The locals will appreciate it too.

To me it’s possibly an excuse to go in and wipe out Irans nuclear program…ether way it’s an unwelcome escalation.
