Over the weekend, Iran carried out a large-scale attack against Israel.
More than 350 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, armed drones, and rockets were fired from Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon towards Israel.
A coalition was activated in the Middle East sky to stop this attack, initiating the IDF’s ‘Iron Dome’ operation.
The Israel Defense Forces, together with the US Central Command, British military forces, French military forces, and other partners, cooperated in real-time – in the air, on land, and at sea.
Defense systems were activated, threats were thwarted, and Iran’s attack on Israel failed.
The ‘Iron Dome’ operation demonstrated our cooperation’s strength.
I want to thank all our international partners who stood against the Iranian attack.
Iran’s attack has created new opportunities for cooperation in the Middle East.
We are conducting assessments and remaining at the highest level of readiness.
Iran will have to deal with the consequences of its actions. We will choose our response accordingly.
The IDF is prepared to face any threat from Iran and its terror proxies. Our mission is to protect the state of Israel.
