For the first time in the history of the Islamic Republic, Iran directly attacked its arch-enemy Israel. According to the Israeli military, around 200 drones and missiles were fired in the large-scale attack. According to the military, the vast majority of the missiles were intercepted by Israel's air defence while still outside its borders. Only a small number of missiles hit Israeli territory, and there were no fatalities or major damage.
