Iran launches over 100 drones at Israel in response to nuclear site strikes, IDF confirms

IDF Spokesman Effie Defrin on Friday morning told a press conference that Iran had launched over 100 drones toward Israel in recent hours.

He also noted that over 200 IDF aircraft have attacked over 100 targets in Iran with over 330 munitions.

He did not say when they would reach Israel, but in April 2025, it took such drones several hours.

***

It was unclear whether Israel had any such alliance this time, given that it launched a preemptive strike, and the other two times it was attacked by Iran first.

Iran sent 300 last year, it appears their stocks are running low. Shouldn't have sold them all to Vlad

These drones take about 8 hours to reach Israel. It’s not clear exactly when they were launched, but probably at least a few hours ago. Iran will try to time the arrival of ballistic missiles with the arrival of the drones to strain Israel’s air defenses.

So why do you support Zelensky?

You and many others keep deflecting to bringing up Putin when poll after poll of MAGA, most here, most online at other places, want no involvement in that mess in Ikraine and probably half are tired of the US being drug into Middle Eastern proxy wars while they simultaneously also don’t not support Iran either (which is a good stance to havee), just as one could be against the war in Iraq while not supporting Hussein.

Continued... And a person should support neither Putin nor Zelensky.

People are tired of the US being world cop while other countries have better standards of living, less debt to GDP ratio, and free health care while America is in massive debt, vets on the streets, etc.

Islam has been at war with Civilization for 14 centuries. It has also been at war with itself as various sides don’t consider the other properly Islamic. Mad Moe had a special hatred for Jews because they rejected him . Because of this Islamic hate for Jews never ends. Mad Moe also hated Christians for the same reason. While we get tired of the never ending war in the Mid East it’s a war against a common enemy. Why not help an ally against this unholy demonic enemy?

The Middle East has always been a tinder box - that’s not going to change as long as there’s Islam.

Excuse me? You have no idea what my views are on Ukraine Russia bloodbath.

Where is the “deflection”? I simply suggested that Iran is running low on drones after selling 1000s to Russia. Was that prudent in light of the ongoing war with Israel (which Iran started on October 7)? The Ayatollah decided to take the cash, and now his country is being flambe’d.

Trump - unlike Biden - has done a great job of keeping US troops out of wars. I see no reason for that to change. Israel is fully capable of defending itself, though bombing the Houthis does tend to stretch resources. But the goat herders are going to have difficulty reloading now that their supplier is out of business.

I was going to say, they sent 300 last April. Maybe their supplier went out of business, or they’re on an austerity budget.

"Iran will try to time the arrival of ballistic missiles with the arrival of the drones to strain Israel’s air defenses."

That didn't work very well for them last year.

Iran’s problem last time was their missiles lacked the precision to attack military targets that were hardened or dispersed. They would be more effective against population centers, but not significantly so. Israel will likely launch another round of attacks tomorrow after evaluating today’s damage.

Now would be a good time for Iran to activate its sleeper cells. Target rich environment with the “no kings” protests, military parade and anti-police riots around the country.

Why do you support an evil ally of Iran and North Korea?

"Why do you support an evil ally of Iran and North Korea?"

Why do you people insist on thinking that people who are against the war between Russia and Ukraine are allies of Russia? Why can't we just be against sending billions of unaccounted-for tax dollars, and depleting our own weapons inventory to wage a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine? I don't understand why it's so hard to accept that point of view without labeling someone. You folk who call us Putin allies and Russian trolls, bring up his name and the word Russia more than we ever do.

For your information, we fought proxy wars with Russia and China in Korea and Vietnam. Ukraine is just another one with Russia. Did we have a total victory in the Korean War? No. Did we have a total victory in Vietnam War? No. Is Ukraine going to win the war? No. That's because the only people who won anything in the Korean and Vietnam wars were the individuals who had investments in the military industrial complex. Same thing is going on with the Russia-Ukraine war. People died so other people could get wealthy.

For years we fought overseas to stop the spread of communism. Did it work? No, and that's because while we were fighting over there, we took our eye off the ball at home and domestic communism crept in here without firing a shot. It infiltrated our schools and our government to the point where they felt confident enough to steal a Presidential election. Communism is still alive and well in the United States. You can either ignore it, and send all your money overseas to help other countries fight their battles, or you can spend the money you need to get rid of it here, because no European country, along with Russia and Ukraine will be coming over here to save our asses like we saved theirs in two World Wars.

I believe in America First. The war between Russia and Ukraine is Europe's problem. Not ours. There is no national security interest in Ukraine, but there is a national security interest in our border, and in Texas, which is the same size as Ukraine. The reason Texas is far more important than Ukraine is because Democrats have been trying to turn Texas blue for years. If it ever happens you can kiss this country goodbye. Sorry if you don't think that we need to save this country first, using what available money there is to do it, before we go off half-cocked and sacrifice this country to help another.

According to Amir Tsarfati:

Home Front Command: No need to stay near protected areas anymore

The Iranian drones were all intercepted before reaching Israeli territory
