The West Asia crisis has escalated with Iran launching a swarm of explosive drones and firing missiles at Israel late Saturday (Apr 13). Iran had vowed retaliation for what it called an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed seven Guards officers.
Saturday’s strikes were the first direct attack on Israeli territory. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the vast majority of Iranian ballistic missiles fired were intercepted, adding, that a few impacts were identified.
