Iran has carried out a large-scale ballistic missile attack against Israel. This comes five months after Iran launched airstrikes on Israel's mainland in retaliation for the attack on its embassy in Syria. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated in a statement that they targeted significant military and security objectives in central Israel with ballistic missiles, claiming a 90% success rate in hitting their targets. The Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported that Iran's supersonic missile, Fateh-1, was used in the attack. The Fateh missile is the first supersonic missile produced domestically by Iran and can travel at speeds up to 15 times the speed of sound. Iran has explained that the missile has a range of up to 1,400 kilometers. The Israeli military announced that Iran launched approximately 180 missiles. Furthermore, this attack is said to be in retaliation for the deaths of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

It has been regulated, and contrary to Iran's claims, it appears that Israel has suffered almost no direct damage. Jake Sullivan, the White House National Security Advisor, assessed in a briefing that Iran's attack seems to have failed. The Israeli military stated in a statement that, thanks to the functioning of the air defense systems, the damage was minimal. Israel boasts a robust air defense network with a quadruple air defense system. It is divided into upper, middle, and lower defense systems, with the Arrow 3 and Iron Dome creating a dense multi-layer missile defense system. Arrow 3, the top-tier defense system, is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles even outside the atmosphere and is referred to as Israel's version of THAAD, with a range of 2,400 km and an interception altitude of over 100 km, allowing it to intercept ICBMs outside of its airspace. Arrow 2 has a range of 1,000 km and an interception altitude of 50 km, designed to intercept medium- to long-range missiles within the atmosphere. Three batteries of Arrow 2 and one battery of Arrow 3 are deployed in Israel.

We are building a defense network around the world. The layered defense is handled by David's sling. It is used to intercept medium-range rockets and ballistic missiles. The Forti rebels and others are causing chaos with missiles and drones within 300 km, all managed by David's sling. Additionally, the world-renowned Iron Dome provides the final layer of protection for Israel. It demonstrates an interception rate of over 90% against rockets coming from Hamas and Hezbollah. In this attack, they also received help from the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Department of Defense stated that two U.S. destroyers launched 12 interceptor missiles toward missiles fired from Iran. They had anticipated Iran's retaliation and had prepared in advance. Iran claimed that this attack was an exercise of its right to self-defense. Following the death of Hamas leader Hani, Hezbollah leader Nasrallah has also vowed to retaliate against Israel.

It is speculated that Iran has felt pressured to act as a leader in resistance against Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that if there are no further retaliations from Israel, they will end their retaliatory measures. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his intention to retaliate against Iran's missile attacks. He indicated that Iran made a significant mistake tonight and will pay the price, suggesting that he will not back down. There are also analyses suggesting that if Israel retaliates again, it could target Iran's nuclear facilities. Naftali Bennett, the former Prime Minister who led Israel until 2022, urged for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. He stated on social media that Israel has seized its greatest opportunity in 50 years, emphasizing that we must act now to destroy Iran's nuclear program and central facilities and to severely incapacitate the terrorist regime.
