Israel Strikes Iran in Response to Ballistic Missile Attack
In a daring response to Iran’s recent ballistic missile attack on Israel, Israeli Air Force jets conducted a precise and strategic counterattack in the early hours of Saturday, approximately 900 miles away from Israel. Reports of explosions in Tehran marked the initiation of Israel’s retaliatory strikes across three intense waves.
The first wave commenced at 2:00 AM Israeli time, targeting air defense systems in Iran, Syria, and Iraq. The subsequent waves focused on military complexes, missile production facilities, and missile launchers. Despite Tehran downplaying the situation, Israel successfully hit 20 different targets, upholding its right to defend against months of Iranian hostilities.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris were promptly updated on the developments, with the U.S. affirming its support for Israel’s actions. As the situation unfolded, Israel maintained peak readiness defensively and offensively, demonstrating its capability to strike strategically within the region.
With ongoing assessments and preparations, both Israel and the U.S. remain vigilant against potential Iranian responses, highlighting the importance of regional stability and national security.
