The revenge promised by Tehran for the April 1 attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus has arrived, in which at least 16 people died, including two commanders of the Guardians of the Revolution. Overnight, over 200 drones and cruise missiles, almost all intercepted by defense systems, were launched on Israeli military targets by the Islamic Republic and its regional allies: the Yemeni Houthis, the Iraqi Shiite militias and Hezbollah. The Lebanese “Party of God” continued to hurl Katiuscha rockets at the Golan Heights until the first light of dawn, when the invitation from the authorities to leave the shelters had already reached Israel at four in the morning local time. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had assured that he was prepared to react and had a nightly telephone conversation with the President of the United States, Joe Biden, who convened the G7.
Tel Aviv claims to have shot down 99% of the drones and missilesa success guaranteed by anti-aircraft support from the USA, Great Britain and Jordan.
