If you have not been following what is happening in Israel, you should. Iran is building a coalition and has been attacking Israel by proxy, until now. Now for the first time Iranian forces directly attacked Israel. We are commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and by extension all Israel. This prayer should be on our lipas morning, noon, and night. Pray for the security of Israel and the safety of her people:
Iran attacks Israel for first time; IDF responds with massive strike
By: Aryeh Savir, World Israel News
Iran’s Quds forces launched a barrage of rockets at IDF bases on the Golan Heights in northern Israel on Wednesday night, the first Iranian attack on Israeli soil in history. The assault prompted an extensive Israel Air Force (IAF) attack on dozens of Iranian targets in Syria.
Shortly after midnight, IDF defense systems identified approximately 20 rockets that the Iranian Quds forces had launched at IDF forward posts on the Golan Heights. The majority of the rockets missed their mark and fell in Syria territory, while four were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system.
The incoming attack set off air raid sirens in communities throughout the north.
The Iranian attack caused no injuries or damage and was essentially a resounding failure.
In response to Iran’s attack on Israeli sovereignty, IAF fighter jets struck dozens of military targets belonging to the Iranian Quds forces in Syrian territory.
As part of the wide-scale attack, said to be the largest in decades and possibly since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the IAF struck Quds Force intelligence centers, Quds Force logistical command centers, a Quds Force military center and a Quds Force logistical center in Al-Kiswah, as well as an Iranian military base north of Damascus.
Additional targets included Quds Force ammunition depots in the Damascus International Airport, intelligence systems and outposts associated with the Quds Force, watchtowers, military posts and munitions in the buffer zone.
In addition, the Iranian missile launcher responsible for the missiles fired on Israeli territory was destroyed.
Stern warning to Syria
During the attacks, Israel issued a direct and stern warning to the Syrian army not to get involved in the confrontation, but the Syrian air defense did attempt to down IAF fighters.
The Syrian army claimed its air defenses “repelled an Israeli missile aggression on Syrian territories, shooting down scores of missiles.”
A military source quoted by Syria’s official SANA news said the army’s air defenses shot down “tens of Israeli missiles, preventing most of them from reaching their targets,” while some managed to hit a number of air defense battalions, radars and an ammunitions depot.
In response to the Syrian intervention, the IAF attacked a number of Syrian aerial interception systems, including SA-5, SA-17, SA-22, SA-2 batteries.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported several explosions that rocked the central sector of Al-Quneitra countryside, adjacent to the Israeli Golan Heights, the result of an Israeli attack on positions of the Assad regime army and its “allies” near al-Baath city.
All IAF aircraft returned to their airbases safely.
