Iran attacks Israel with giant ballistic missiles

Iran launched 331 air attack weapons against Israel on the night of April 14: 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 ballistic missiles. The network showed what large fragments of Iranian missiles looked like, intercepted by air defense and not reaching their targets.

Security and defense analyst Michael Clarke called the attack "ambitious", Sky News reports. Strikes have been directed at Israeli territory from Iran itself, Iranian proxies in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, and even from across the Red Sea in Yemen.

“It should therefore be considered a significant defensive success that after a long night of shelling, flying and explosions, only seven ballistic missiles appear to have landed in Israel,” Clark said.
