After United States raised the alarm, Israel was indeed subjected to a massive missile raid from Iran! According to the White House, more than 200 ballistic missiles flew in the direction of Israel, while Israel claimed that the number of incoming missiles was about 180. Other sources reported that "dozens of missiles" flew over Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other areas.
Dense "missile rain"
Judging from the public footage, the missile attack was carried out under the cover of night, and the process can be described as quite intense. Iran sources claim that Israel's military targets have been hit, and there is even information that more than 20 American-made F-35 stealth fighters were blown up in the missile strike.

At the same time, Tehran announced for the first time that it would use a hypersonic weapon system to carry out precision strikes on the Israeli army's "Hertz" anti-missile system, and several "Fatah" hypersonic weapons destroyed the radome of the anti-missile system. Israeli military bases near Tel Aviv were hit, and missiles even hit near the Mossad headquarters.

Of course, Israel did not recognize the results announced by Iran, and Israel insisted that the effect of Iran's missile strikes had been minimized, and that the Israeli army's air combat power had not been damaged in this raid. That is, Israel does not recognize the conclusion that "dozens of F-35s were blown up." At the same time, Israel threatened Iran, claiming that it would let Iran taste the "painful consequences."

The United States appears to have received warning of Iran's strike in advance, and the U.S. military has moved to assist Israel in its interception. The Pentagon confirmed that the U.S. military intercepted Iran's missiles, including United States combat ships stationed in the Middle East, and appeared to have intercepted "more than a dozen missiles." However, there is also information that the US ship group appears to have failed to intercept Iran's missile targets.

This action can be regarded as Iran's relatively fierce response. In line with the principle of calming things down, Tehran has declared the "end of the operation" and denied the outbreak of conflict between Iran and Israel. Iran also reminded Israel not to try to retaliate for this. Tehran does not seek conflict, but it will also resolutely respond to threats.

In short, Iran has responded to Israel's military operations for some time through this large-scale missile air strike, which not only shows Tehran's attitude, but also gives an explanation to its small partners in the Middle East. And it is clear that United States also maintains a tacit attitude, Israel also clamps its tail, and everyone understands the truth up to the point.
