What do we know about Iran’s attack on Israel?

April 14, 2024

▪️According to preliminary estimates, 185 Shahed drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles were fired at Israel.

▪️Where did the attack come from? Missiles and drones were fired from Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

▪️The attack lasted 5-6 hours targeting military bases and government facilities in Israel. 99% of launched missiles and drones were intercepted.

▪️After the attack on Israel, 31 people were injured. The military base received some damage. However, the base continues to receive and send planes, Iran failed to paralyze its work.

▪️Israel requested an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the situation.

▪️The EU, USA, and UN are “very troubled” and “condemn” the attack. In addition, the meetings of the G7 and the UN will be taking place.

Summary: Iran’s attack on Israel had a minimal impact and largely failed. Israel was ready for the attack and had superior air defense systems. Same defense systems should be provided to Ukraine to defend against russian terrorism.

Comment from :

Marijn Markus:

✈️ A consortium of fighter jets from US, UK and Israel as well as the world’s most advanced ground based air defense units destroyed the same amount of missiles/drones that Ukraine is destroying almost every week, alone.

Proving that #NATO forces CAN interfere with drones launched at non-NATO countries. But then why would it be ‘World War Three’ if these same countries did the same for #Ukraine ?

Glenn Gomes :

Russia’s attempt to open up a Second Front, to distract from the war in Ukraine. Russia and Iran are now close allies.

Adam Jacobi:

Listening to this during the day from different sources and analyses, a possible interpretation of this attack is that this is “posturing” by the ayatollah regime to save face with a domestic audience. The attack was well-posted in advance, and the use of drones (a lengthy flight from Iran) meant they could easily be spotted. The language afterwards (“we’ll leave it at that if Israel doesn’t respond”) suggests that this perhaps was meant to say “this is what we are capable of”. What’s stopping Ukraine from getting the Iron Dome system? I don’t understand. Or why a no-fly zone has never been put in place under UN oversight?

  1. The Iranian woman in the video is fairly typical of Iran’s business community in London. I can confirm that from my own experience.
    Persians are cultured people with an intelligence that is superior to Arabs. Their savage nazi-like rulers are nothing like them.
    Unlike Russia, whose foul, scummy ruler is an almost exact reflection of the Russian mindset.
    Russia is evil.
    The Iranian regime will have to be smashed. Before it can start chucking nukes around.

  2. “Iran’s attack on Israel had a minimal impact and largely failed. Israel was ready for the attack and had superior air defense systems. Same defense systems should be provided to Ukraine to defend against russian terrorism.”

    Not sure why everyone who has Patriots and such doesn’t hand over to Ukraine what they can. Ukraine is being terrorized each and every day and night by the mafiosi.
