About it 24 Kanala said the journalist of the portal “Details” Roman Yanushevsky, adding that the missiles flew specifically at houses and infrastructure. After all, the Iron Dome does not shoot down targets aimed at deserted, open areas.
On the topic The threat from Iran: an Israeli journalist described in detail what is happening in the Middle East
Who is behind the attack
It is too early to say with absolute certainty what exactly happened. Perhaps this is the same “response” from Iran that the country promised for the attack on their consulate in Syria and the liquidation of some high-ranking officials.
On the other hand, this could be another “exchange” of blows, which happens periodically. But it is worth noting that the intensity of the fire was very high. An IDF spokesman said Israel’s defense system is ready to deal with any threat. The army is in a state of full combat readiness.
What is unusual about this statement is that the army structure does not act during Shabbat unless absolutely necessary. This indicates that the situation is exceptional. Everyone expects a strike from Iran,
– noted Yanushevsky.
For reference. Shabbat lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. In the Jewish calendar, this is the seventh day of the week, on which one must abstain from any work.
Threats from Iran are becoming more frequent. They were even transmitted through diplomatic channels. Moreover, sources of the American publication POLITICO claim that there is talk of launching drones and missiles on Israeli territory. According to the first version, they will be released from Iran, but on April 12 they were flying from Lebanon.
Most likely, this is not yet the same “response” from Iran that was announced earlier. Moreover, Iran does not want to expose itself so much, realizing that Israel, together with the United States, can strike its territory,
– Yanushevsky emphasized.
Now Iran is organizing the war with the help of its proxies, in particular through the Hezbollah group in Lebanon, the Houthis, or other structures that operate in Syria and Iraq.
Aggravation between Israel and Iran: what happened
- On April 1, Israel carried out an air strike on Iran’s diplomatic complex in Syria. As a result of the attack, the building in which the coordination of the actions of Iran, Hezbollah and the Shiite police took place was completely destroyed. At the time of the strike, three generals were in the room, one was killed. Iran threatened retaliation.
- In mid-April, Western publications began writing about a possible attack on Israel. Against the backdrop of such conversations, the head of the Pentagon discussed with his Israeli counterpart preparations for an attack from Iran and the response to threats. The Israeli army is in full combat readiness.
- On the evening of April 12, almost 40 rockets were fired at Israel from Lebanon. Some of them were intercepted, but most fell in open areas. Even earlier, Iran demanded that the United States not interfere in this situation and threatened to strike American bases.
