Israel has said it and its allies have intercepted the vast majority of more than 300 drones and missiles launched by Iran.
 
It said there were a small number of hits on its territory, including at an IDF base in southern Israel, while one child has been injured.

    5:32 So, a response to an Israeli attack with a warning 90 minutes ahead of time is considered unprecedented?

    The US & UK should place their focus on issues in their own countries, not fighting proxy wars and escalating tensions all over the world.

    What Iran did here was clearly something they knew would send a signal, but not cause huge damage. Otherwise they would have used other missiles.

    Israel has the right to defend itself, but Iran don't. Which UN charter says so??

    Besides being dangerous, just imagine the cost of the weapons fired and the cost of the defensive measures. A vast waste of money that could be used to build a better and brighter world.
