A shadow war into a direct conflict between Iran & Israel.

More than 300 drones and missiles were launched from Iran’s territory out of which more than 120 were ballistic missiles and about 30 cruise missiles. But as per the reports from the Israel side about 99% of these were intercepted in air and destroyed in the air. This was all due to the efficient defense system of Israel.

Reason behind the recent attack by Iran:

As per Iran’s Mission to U.N. “Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus”. They added more by saying that the action would be much more severe if Israel made another mistake.

Iran launched the attack as a response to the attack on its consulate by Israeli strike in Syria on April 1, 2024.

The above cited were the reasons behind the latest attack but both countries have a long history of shadow wars:

1982: Lebanon was invaded by Israel. Following this, the Revolutionary Guards set up Hezbollah.

1983: Hezbollah used suicide bombers to attack and later on Israeli forces withdrew from Lebanon.

2006: Israel fights a month-long battle with Hezbollah militants.
