Iran attacks Israel, sends hundreds of drones, missiles

The drones are expected to take several hours to reach Israel. • US, Israel intercepting projectiles over Iraq, Syria

Declining to confirm or deny whether cruise missiles had also been fired, the IDF said that if they were fired, they would take around three to four hours to arrive. Unconfirmed estimates have said drones will start arriving in Israeli airspace in the middle of the night Israel time.

Shortly after the Iranian strike began, Iraqi officials announced that Iraqi airspace was being closed. Lebanon and Jordan also announced that they were closing their airspace on Saturday night.
A number of drones were seen flying from the direction of Iran over Iraq's Sulaymaniya province, three security sources told Reuters on Saturday.
"Dozens of drones were spotted flying from Iran in the direction of Israel over Iraqi airspace," two Iraqi security sources also told Reuters.
Jordan's air defenses were ready to intercept and shoot down any Iranian drones or aircraft that violate its airspace, two regional security sources said.

And we shot down 99% of them.



It makes me wonder, if you're Iran, what are you thinking when you've just launched essentially everything you've got at Israel and mere seconds after the launch you're watching it headlined on CNN.

Then you watch in real time over the next hour and a half as it all gets blown clear to Mars as they reach Israeli airspace.

That's got to be just humiliating.

There was a thread on Reddit I'm trying to re-locate. It claimed a clip being shown on Iranian TV as strike success against Israel is a clip of Chile's wildfire.

I'm just making more popcorn waiting for Israel's retort.

I think they may follow Joe's advice and see what the Iranians do.

Well, they just got humiliated by having everything they could throw at Israel blown out of the sky.

They'll go back to what they do best: terrorism.
