Following the dozens of Ballistic missiles launched into Israel by Iran on Saturday, Israel has made a strong statement, warning that confrontation “not over yet”.
This is as Iran sent waves of drones and missiles in cross-border attack on Israeli territory.
A Nigeria security analyst Peter Egon says Iran has been spoiling for war, as they will sponsor Hezbollah, sponsor Hamas, sponsor attacks from Syria join. Are they the only Arab country? All the others, including the leader of all Arab countries, Saudi Arabia have accepted Israel’s right to exist, except Iran. Since they know what they are looking for, they would get it”
But Iranian Govt is undeterred as they promise to match Israel strength for strength and warning other nations to stay clear
.Dozens of surface-to-surface missile, dozens of hostile aircraft, as well as dozens of cruise missiles launched from Iran, were identified approaching Israeli territory over the night.
According to a statement by Israel on the attack by Iran on Saturday, 331 missiles and drones launched by Iran at Israel were all intercepted, 185 out of 185 Kamikaze Drones, and 103 out of 110 Ballistic Missiles were shot down.
It also stated that 36 out of 36 Cruise Missiles were shot down, while 7 Ballistic Missile impacts have been recorded on Israeli territory. In a counter-reaction, Iran opined that the attack “achieved all its objectives”.
Iran has also warned Israel of a larger attack on its territory should it retaliate against Tehran’s retaliatory overnight attack, adding that the US should not back Israeli military action
Reports said, a small number of hits were identified, including at an IDF base in southern Israel, where minor damage was caused to infrastructure. “Even more chilling, Iran is flaunting its nuclear ambitions. They’re talking about how easy it would be to ramp up to nuclear capabilities and build an atomic bomb. But we know better. We know this isn’t just about power; it’s about intimidation.
“But here’s what they underestimate—Israel’s resolve. We’ve seen threats come and go, but our spirit remains unbreakable. We are prepared, as always, to defend our land and our people with everything we’ve got. And here’s something to hold onto, a verse that I came across that feels right for right now: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)
“This is more than a geopolitical crisis; it’s a test of our faith and our will. As our soldiers stand guard, let us also stand firm in our support for Israel.
