Unprecedented Attack: Iran Launches Aerial Assault on Israel
Israel Responds with Airstrikes as Tensions Escalate
Diplomatic Efforts Falter amid Explosions and Accusations
In a stunning escalation of hostilities, Iran has launched an immense aerial attack on Israel, sending over 300 drones and missiles across the border on Saturday night. Israeli officials swiftly confirmed the unprecedented assault, reporting that the country's air defense systems had intercepted most of the incoming threats.
Bloomberg News reported that US officials had been warned by their Israeli counterparts of the impending attack. Shortly after, Israel launched airstrikes against Iran, targeting military installations and infrastructure.
Iran has condemned the Israeli response, blaming Israel for the initial aggression. This latest exchange of fire follows a series of escalating tensions between the two nations, including an alleged Israeli strike on an Iranian nuclear site earlier this month.
As diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program teeter on the brink of collapse, Israel's defense minister has warned that "all options are on the table" to protect its citizens from further attacks.
