Israel fired an attack on Iran on Friday in retaliation for Tehran’s ballistic barrage of 200 rockets targeting the Jewish state last week, Fox News reported.
The Israel Defense Forces had pledged a “serious and significant” response to Iran’s attack, with Friday night’s strike serving as a rare and open direct assault on the Islamic Republic.
The Israeli attack all but ensured Iran’s direct involvement in the conflict between its terror proxies and the Jewish state, which world leaders fear could result in an all-out war in the Middle East.
Iran launched missiles against Israel last week in retaliation against Israeli strikes that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. REUTERSUS officials, who backed Israel’s right to respond to Iran’s attack, said America had been advising the Jewish state on how to prepare a “proportionate” response.
Israel has been at war with the Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, and also fending off assaults from the terrorists’ allies such as the Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen and Iran.
This is a developing story.
