In a recent development, an Iranian official has officially acknowledged the launch of drone attacks targeting Israel.
Reports from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirm the deployment of aerial drones by Iran towards Israel, indicating a potentially significant reprisal move.
According to Israel’s Channel 12 TV, the assault is anticipated to reach Israeli territories by approximately 02:00 on Sunday (00:00 GMT). Israeli military forces have been placed on heightened alert status, closely monitoring all potential targets.
Iran’s decision to launch these drones follows a vow to retaliate for the deadly attack on its consulate in Syria on April 1st, resulting in the loss of seven military personnel, including a high-ranking commander. While Iran has accused Israel of orchestrating the assault, Israel has refrained from confirming or denying its involvement.
Just moments before reports of Iran’s drone activity surfaced, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underscored the readiness of his nation’s defensive capabilities, emphasizing preparedness for any potential scenario.
Netanyahu stated, “We are fully equipped to handle any situation, both defensively and offensively. The resilience of the State of Israel, the strength of the IDF, and the solidarity of our citizens are unwavering.”
He also expressed gratitude for the support extended by the United States, as well as allies such as Britain and France, during this critical juncture.
As this situation continues to unfold rapidly, we urge readers to stay tuned for further updates.
