In a significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Iran launched a large-scale aerial assault on Israel, deploying 110 ballistic missiles, 185 drones, and 36 cruise missiles. This attack, described as larger than Russia's biggest aerial assaults on Ukraine, aimed to overwhelm Israel's advanced air defense systems. Despite the scale of the attack, Israel's air defenses successfully intercepted over 90% of these threats.
