Needs it's own thread imo.

Iran has launched drones at Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night.

 

It said the wave could take hours to reach Israel.

 

It comes after days of anticipation that Iran was preparing to attack Israel in retaliation for a strike which killed a top Iranian commander.

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country's defence systems have been deployed and that Israel's armed forces were ready.

 

"I established a clear principle - whoever hurts us, we hurt him. We will protect ourselves from any threat and we will do so with coolness and determination," he said.

Drones confirmed. Skynews via Iran saying also missles.

Iran says it has launched missiles at Israel

Iran has also launched missiles at Israel, its Revolutionary Guards has said.

In a statement quoted by state media, the branch of the Iranian Armed Forces said it has targeted specific places in Israel with dozens of drones and missiles. 

The Israeli military confirmed a salvo of drones had been launched from the country and could take "several hours" to arrive. 

Israeli media has reported the drones could start arriving at around 2am local time (12am UK time) but the missiles could arrive sooner.

BBC News is reporting that some drones have already been shot down over Syria and Jordan. Jordan is assisting Israel in air defense.

Reports that there are about 100 drones/cruise missiles on their way.

Lots of talking heads are speculating that this was Iran's intention. They felt obligated to respond to the Damascus embassy attack but have been communicating for a week that they were going to respond, giving Israel time to prepare and now sending slow shit.

In other words, a "measured response."

I guess we'll have to wait and see what is targeted, what the damage will be, and how Israel will respond.

Iran is a pustule.
There is zero fucking reason for Iran to be in hostilities with Israel, yet they have been for decades, because they are a psychotic islamofascist regime.
They’ve been in FA mode for a long time. I don’t mind the FO.
And collectively, we have embarked on a new era of global conflict. It’s stupid as hell, but stupid is humanity’s brand.
Now lots of things go boom.

We’ll see. Maybe this is one step above saber rattling. If Iran coordinates these slow ass drones with cruise missiles or other types of attacks, then the 💩 hits the fan.

Rocket attacks from Lebanon.

Sirens sound in northern Israeli kibbutz

Sirens have sounded in a northern Israeli kibbutz, the Israel Defence Force has said. 

The siren comes amid the impending drone and missile attack launched by Iran and after rockets were fired from Lebanon. 

Earlier, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told citizens they must enter a shelter and stay there for at least 10 minutes if a siren sounds in their area. 

"We will update you if you need to stay in the shelter for a longer period," he added.

Lots of moving parts, which I suspect is kind of the point with drones, cruise missiles (slow but maneuverable), and now ballistic missiles, fast but predictable.

Hezbollah shooting shit off. Who's next? Houthis?

Distractions.

This.  How many Iranian or sympathetic cargo ships are in the Eastern Mediterranean?  Britain showed in the Falklands that container ships can be effective carriers for S\VTOL aircraft.  While Israel is looking east, launch a bunch of drones and missiles from the west.  Maybe some spec op raids, too.

They telegraphed this and they want the drones and missiles (if they come) to get shot down.

My first thought as well when they launched a drone attack that would take hours to get there. This is a response with an intent to de-escalate. Or so I hope.
