Iran starts attacking Israel with drones and missiles

Sunday, 14 April 2024

Iran has launched large-scale attacks on Israel with drones and missiles. This is being said to be Israel's retaliation after the attack on Iran's Consulate in Syria.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has said that the attack was aimed at targeting 'specific targets'.

Israeli army sources have said that more than 100 drones have been released. According to CBS News, America has shot down some drones.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) say that 'those threats are being stopped where necessary.' Israel's Prime Minister has called a meeting of the War Cabinet.

After Iran's attack, sirens were heard in Israel and a huge explosion was heard in Jerusalem as Israel's air defense systems dropped several objects in the city.

It is not yet clear whether any drones have reached Israel yet or not. Iran is 1,800 kilometers away from Israel. At the same time, America has not told where it has dropped the drones.

Israel, Lebanon and Iraq have closed their airspace and Syria and Jordan have put their air defense systems on alert.

After Israel's attack on Iran's Consulate in Syria on April 1, 2024, Iran had spoken of revenge. Seven military officers including a top commander of Iran were killed in this attack.

While Iran held Israel responsible for this attack, Israel neither confirmed nor rejected it.

"Iran has launched direct attacks against the State of Israel from Iranian soil," IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said.

“We are closely watching the Iranian killer drones that Iran is sending coming towards Israel. This is a very serious and dangerous increase.”

Daniel Hagari has said that Israel's Air Force aircraft are ready to face any kind of threat in the air.

After Iran released the drone, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the country's defense systems have been put to work.

"We are prepared for any situation, whether defensive or offensive. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The people are strong."

Netanyahu said that along with America, he appreciates Britain, France and many other countries for supporting us.

Earlier this week, Israel's defense and foreign ministers warned that if Iran attacked Israel, it would retaliate inside Iran.

After the news of the Iranian attack, US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said that President Biden is determined to protect Israel.

"The United States will stand with the people of Israel and defend them against these threats from Iran," Adrienne Watson said.

"President Biden has been clear. Our support for Israel's security remains steadfast."

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has condemned Iran's attacks and promised to stand up for the security of Israel and all its regional partners.

The IRGC, the most powerful branch of the Iranian military, says it carried out the attack in retaliation for Israel's repeated crimes, including an attack on Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
