Iran has launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in its first direct attack on Israeli territory, in a retaliatory strike that wounded a seven-year-old girl and caused minor damage at an Israeli military facility.
The attack late on Saturday night set off air raid sirens in cities across Israel, including in Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem, and explosions were heard as Israeli air defences intercepted the projectiles.
The Israeli military said the Iranian salvo consisted of more than 300 “killer drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles”, but that 99 percent were intercepted, with help from forces from the United States and the United Kingdom.
The launches came from Iran, as well as from Iraq and Yemen, it said.

Hamas militants launched the biggest attack on Israel in years this morning, with thousands of rockets fired into the country and gunmen crossing the border.

Mohammad Deif, the military commander of the Islamist movement, announced the start of the operation in a broadcast on Hamas media, calling on Palestinians everywhere to fight.

“We’ve decided to say enough is enough,” he said in a recorded message. “This is the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on earth.”

“The military declares a state of war alert,” it said in a statement. “The Hamas terrorist organisation had begun a massive shooting of rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory, and terrorists infiltrated into Israeli territory in a number of different locations.

“The Israeli Defence Forces will defend Israeli civilians and the Hamas terrorist organisation will pay a heavy price for its actions.”
