Iran has launched a significant ballistic missile strike on Israel, with hundreds of projectiles launched into the Jewish state as the war in the region further escalates under the Biden-Harris government’s oversight. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation, warning of “challenging times” as the country battles what he termed “Iran’s axis of evil.”
The Iranian offensive is believed to have used advanced ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel in fewer than 15 minutes.
Despite Israel’s advanced air defense system, there are concerns that a combination of ballistic missiles, drones, as well as cruise missiles from Iran could overwhelm the infamous Iron Dome as well as other defenses.
High-ranking Iranian officials have vowed a severe response to the recent Israeli assassination of Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah, warning of the “destruction of the Zionist regime.”
The Pentagon has increased the number of American warplanes in the region. Additionally, the Abraham Lincoln and USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers are present, providing naval strength.
Meanwhile, a terror attack – believed to be a shooting – has left four dead in Jaffa, near Tel Aviv.
