Breitbart: Iran Awards Medal for Missile Attack on Israel but Awaits Response
Iran is preparing for a potential Israeli counterattack following its recent missile strikes on Israel. Ayatollah Khamenei awarded a medal to the IRGC commander responsible for the attacks, while U.S. and Israeli military leaders discuss coordinated responses.
Iran has closed its airspace and is bracing for further Israeli actions, which may target missile facilities and potentially destabilize the Iranian regime. Despite official posturing, there are signs of apprehension within Iran regarding a possible attack.
Times Of Israel: How effective was Iran’s attack? The Israeli public doesn’t have the full picture
Iran launched a significant missile attack on Israel on October 1, involving around 200 ballistic missiles, with approximately 180 reaching Israeli territory. The attack targeted military installations, including the Nevatim Airbase, and was assessed by international media based on satellite imagery.
Israeli media coverage was limited, possibly due to the Rosh Hashanah holiday and internal censorship. The IDF reported a lower interception rate compared to previous attacks, raising concerns about the vulnerability of Israel's defense systems and the potential implications for civilian safety in future conflicts.
Times Of Israel: After Iranian missiles hit base, Gallant says attack didn’t even ‘scratch’ air force
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that last week’s Iranian missile attack did not damage the Israeli Air Force's capabilities. He emphasized Israel's intent to respond at a time and manner of its choosing, despite the attack causing civilian damage and prompting widespread panic.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the missile strikes were retaliation for the deaths of key figures linked to Hezbollah and Hamas. In response, Israel is reportedly considering targeting strategic Iranian infrastructure, while Iran warns of a proportional counterattack.
