Iran has launched drones at Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night.
It said the wave could take hours to reach Israel.
It comes after days of anticipation that Iran was preparing to attack Israel in retaliation for a strike which killed a top Iranian commander.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country's defence systems have been deployed and that Israel's armed forces were ready.
"I established a clear principle - whoever hurts us, we hurt him. We will protect ourselves from any threat and we will do so with coolness and determination," he said.

Iran does in fact, have a right to defend itself.

Let’s just hope they can differentiate between a commercial airliner and a missile this time around.

Is this what they're doing? Defending themselves?

The downing of that plane was terrible and I'm glad that some people in Iran's military were convicted and sentenced for what happened.
Do you think any Israeli military will be sentenced for shooting at aid trucks entering Gaza to deliver food, water and supplies? A Canadian was also killed in those strikes, since that seems to matter to you (any innocents killed is the important thing regardless nationality, but I digress). He's been dismissed now, let's see!

I have a feeling these drone strikes will not be very effective. If Iran really wanted war, they would give the go ahead to Hezbollah.

Confusing move by Iran. If these drones are that slow, they'll just get shot down and make Iran look impotent while giving Israel a basis to escalate attacks on Iranian assets or try to pull the US into a wider war in the middle east. Hopefully Biden is not so stupid as to let that happen, but his judgment when it comes to Israel is compromised.
These headlines look too much like the start of WWIII...

While I'm in this thread, there was an important bit of journalism by the CBC podcast Frontburner that goes a long way toward explaining why the civilian death toll has been so high in Gaza. Essential listening IMO (or reading if you prefer the transcript).

Well, CNN is now reporting ballistic missiles have been fired from Iran.

Iran has the right to self defence I'm sure the pro Israeli posters who were saying that in the attack on Gaza will surely agree.

Ha? How would Iran get into a war with Israel if they give to go ahead to Hezbollah? Hezbollah attacks israel daily and have had a war with israel before and it hasn't led to a war with Iran.

Or they sent them so Israel's defense is overwhelmed and they get to the target they want.

That update and that theory fit together pretty well.
Al Jazeera with interesting coverage at the moment, talking about supposed diplomatic back chanelling between US and Iran re avoiding serious escalation to the point of US involvement in response. At same time though some suggestion of European jets being involved in knocking these drones down. Things are evolving quickly.

Iran has been attacking Israel through its proxies for years.
If anything, Iran is going to get what’s coming to them, as they are the biggest destabilizing force in the region.

Hezbollah also firing rockets at Golan Heights now apparently. Lots for Israel's defences to deal with incoming.
