The army on Saturday, in a significant escalation of the long-running covert war between the regional foes that threatened to overshadow the conflict in Gaza, announced that Israel is coming under direct attack from Iran.
According to reports, Iran had constantly threatened Israel of its planned retaliation strike over a deadly April 1 air attack on its Damascus consular building. In contrast, Washington had repeatedly warned in recent days that the reprisals were imminent.
“Iran launched UAVs from its territory towards the territory of the state of Israel,” military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement.
