Israel Defence Forces (IDF) jets successfully intercepted Iranian drones amidst escalating tensions. Iran launched 170 explosive drones, 120 ballistic missiles, and 30 cruise missiles, with 99% intercepted by the IDF. The attack, retaliation for an alleged strike on Iran's consulate in Damascus, marks the first direct assault by Iran on Israel. While Israel hasn't claimed responsibility, both nations have long been in a shadow war. Iran's hostile rhetoric towards Israel fuels the conflict, with strikes aimed at thwarting Iranian influence. Concerns for regional stability rise as both nations possess advanced military capabilities.
