Tehran: Iran launched an attack involving 100 drones targeting Israel, according to Israeli Army spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin. The drone assault came as a direct response to Israel’s large-scale early morning air raid on Iranian targets, which involved about 200 aircraft striking key military sites in Iran. The Israeli military confirmed ongoing interception efforts to counter the incoming Iranian drones.
The strikes on Iran resulted in the confirmed assassination of several top Iranian officials, including Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Hossein Salami, and senior commander Gholam Ali Rashid. These high-profile casualties mark a significant escalation in hostilities between the two countries, underscoring the deepening conflict in the region.
This confrontation reflects the continuing cycle of retaliatory actions following months of rising tensions, with both sides targeting strategic military and leadership assets. The intensity of the strikes and counterstrikes signals a potential shift toward broader conflict, raising concerns internationally about stability in the Middle East.
