Iran Launches Widespread Ballistic Missile Attack Against Israel

Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on Tuesday, firing approximately 180-200 ballistic missiles at various targets in the country. The attack was reportedly in retaliation for the assassinations of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and other high-ranking officials. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the attack was in accordance with the United Nations Charter and was a response to an "attack on the sovereignty" of Iran. The Israeli military said that most of the missiles were intercepted with US help, but several hit locations in Israel, causing damage and injuries. Iran's senior military commanders claimed that the attack was a success, and that they had managed to overcome Israel's anti-aircraft defenses. The US stated that the missile attack appeared to have been "defeated and ineffective."
