Iran Launches Attack on Israel

[JosephZ]

Iran's retaliation for Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus has begun.

Iran launched drone attack on Israel, U.S. and Israel officials say

Iran launched dozens of drones against Israel on Saturday night local time, four U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.

It is the first time Iran launched an attack from its soil against Israel. It's unclear what the targets are.


It will take approximately 8 to 9 hours for these drones to reach Israel. Iran also has cruise missiles that can reach Israel in 2 hours and ballistic missiles that can reach Israel in less than 15 minutes.

What are Iran’s missile and drone capabilities?

Report says ballistic missiles fired from Iran would take 12 minutes to reach Israel, cruise missiles would take two hours, and drones would reach targets in nine hours

Statement from NSC Spokesperson Adrienne Watson on Attacks Against Israel

Iran has begun an airborne attack against Israel. President Biden is being regularly updated on the situation by his national security team and will meet with them this afternoon at the White House. His team is in constant communication with Israeli officials as well as other partners and allies. This attack is likely to unfold over a number of hours. President Biden has been clear: our support for Israel’s security is ironclad. The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran.

Well, this is a new story, so I will not summarize it until there is more info, but these missiles are scary, as they travel almost 1100 miles (1700 km)* in 12 minutes.

Just remember Iran has an extra 65 billion dollars to finance weapons that they would not have had if Trump were in office.

They can, will, and saying otherwise can only be based in hatred of the Jews. /s

Prayer for IDF Soldiers​

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under our soldiers’ sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is the Lord your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

I was talking about Israel, not Iran.

 

[Desk trauma]

I don't know, but was the eclipse part of the end times?

No.

 

[Nithavela]

Maybe the end is near....I don't know, but was the eclipse part of the end times? Just a thought, as I start to both pray and weep....

I can assure you that you'll run out of tissues before the end of the world, if that's any consolation.

 

[Valletta]

I was talking about Israel, not Iran.

Iran was behind the attacks, the general was the planner. As it became more and more obvious Iran was participating of course Iran knew Israel would eventually launch strikes against Iranians.

Iran was behind the bombing of the iranian embassy in Damascus?

 

[SoldierOfTheKing]

What was Israel thinking? What did they honestly expect to happen here?

 

[Jamdoc]

Pray for Israel.

There are a few prophecies involving Israel and Iran. Jeremiah 49, about Elam (southwestern Iran), Ezekiel 38 and 39.
also keep an eye on Damascus, Isaiah 17

 

[Valletta]

What was Israel thinking? What did they honestly expect to happen here?

Israel expected and expects the jihadists to keep attacking. If the drones arrive at the border they expect Hezobollah to launch rockets as well.
Israel must eliminate Iran's nuclear weapons capability.

Will things go nuclear?
