Following Iran’s launch of over 180 missiles at Israel, the IDF announced plans for extensive airstrikes across the Middle East.

Israeli and U.S. defense systems intercepted most of the rockets, with the IDF emphasizing strong cooperation.

Senior Israeli officials vowed severe retaliation, with one stating Israel now has full legitimacy for an unprecedented strike on Iran.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed the attack was in response to the deaths of key regional leaders and warned of further violence if Israel retaliated, Y Net News has reported.

Despite the barrage, air defenses largely held, with minimal injuries reported. Israel briefly closed its airspace but soon reopened it.
