There were no injuries following Iran’s missile attack on Israel on Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari has said.

“There was a serious attack on us, and there will be serious consequences,” Hagari said Tuesday.

He added this was not the first time Israel had faced a threat from Iran.

*Israel’s Response

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari warned, “This missile fire will have consequences. We have plans, and we will act in the time and place that we choose.”

Israel’s military is preparing a response, with potential targets including Iranian military installations and proxy forces.

United States turns up for Israel

The recent Iranian missile attack on Israel has sparked widespread condemnation and heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Amidst this chaos, the United States has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to Israel’s security, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with its ally in the face of unacceptable threats.

President Joe Biden’s swift directive to provide US military aid to Israel’s defense underscores the strength of this bilateral relationship.

The decision to assist in shooting down incoming missiles and sharing critical intelligence demonstrates a united front against Iranian aggression.

This unwavering support extends beyond military might.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s emphatic condemnation of Iran’s actions at the United Nations echoes the sentiments of the international community.

The regional implications of this conflict are far-reaching. Escalating tensions risk destabilizing the Middle East, drawing in neighboring countries and global powers.

The international community’s response will be crucial in preventing wider conflict.
