Israel's Interception of Iranian Drones and Missiles
Israel promises revenge against Iran after intercepting 99% of drones and missiles launched from Iranian soil. Benny Gantz warns of exacting a price at the right time. Israel's defence systems, along with British, US, French, and Jordanian forces, successfully downed the aerial barrage. Iran claimed self-defence after Israel killed its Revolutionary Guards. Historic attack involved 170 kamikaze drones, 120 ballistic rockets, and 30 cruise missiles. Only light damage reported, with one casualty - a seven-year-old Bedouin girl. UK beefed up cover and intercepted drones and missiles. Iran-backed terror groups celebrated the attack. Israel's air defence system, Iron Dome, played a crucial role in intercepting rockets. Iron Dome is a C-RAM short-range air defence system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells.
