Israel's military plans response to Iran's aerial attacks, while global pressure for restraint mounts. Find out what Iran launched and Israel's options for retaliation here!

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Israel is contemplating its response to Iran's unprecedented aerial attacks. The Israeli war cabinet is on high alert, reviewing military plans in the wake of the direct strikes from Iran. As calls for restraint echo internationally, all eyes are on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a decisive action.

Iran's launch of 120 ballistic missiles towards Israel stunned the world, with only a few managing to bypass air defenses and hit Israeli targets. The U.S. officials revealed that out of the barrage, only five missiles successfully reached their destination, causing significant concern in the region.

From covert cyber attacks on nuclear sites to mysterious explosions at military bases, Israel has a history of strategic strikes against Iran. The shadow war between the two nations has escalated over the years, leading to the recent direct confrontation that has put the entire region on edge.

As Israel weighs its options for retaliation, diplomatic efforts intensify. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is exploring potential responses to the attack, while also rallying international support to impose sanctions on Iran for its aggression. The global community watches closely as the situation unfolds, with tensions at an all-time high between the two adversaries.

In a surprising turn of events, U.S. Central Command forces, backed by Navy destroyers, successfully neutralized over 80 one-way attack unmanned aerial vehicles and multiple ballistic threats. This rapid response highlights the strategic partnership between Israel, the U.S., and their allies in safeguarding against Iranian aggression. The swift action underscores the importance of coordinated efforts in countering emerging threats in the region, setting a precedent for future collaborations in defense and security.
