Iran attacks on Israel with hundreds of drones, missiles

Iran launched a barrage of drone and missile strikes on Israel in retaliation for an alleged Israeli attack on its Damascus consulate. The attack, which critically injured a 7-year-old girl, was Iran’s first direct assault on Israeli territory. The U.S. pledged “ironclad” support for Israel, while the U.N. warned of the “real danger of a devastating region-wide escalation.” The strikes have raised fears of a wider conflict in the region, with both sides warning of severe consequences for further attacks.
