Iran Fires Hundreds Ballistic Missiles at Israel After Airstrikes

Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated dramatically following Israel's Operation Rising Lion, which involved around 200 aircraft striking Iranian nuclear and missile facilities and reportedly killing at least 20 senior Iranian military commanders. In retaliation, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles targeting several major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, resulting in multiple injuries despite Israel's active missile defense systems such as Iron Dome and David's Sling. The conflict marks a significant intensification of their longstanding hostilities, with Iran framing its attacks as a response to Israel's attempts to undermine its nuclear ambitions and regional influence. This exchange has drawn widespread attention, including appeals for prayers and support from various political and religious figures. The situation underscores a broader geopolitical struggle, involving the U.S. and Western allies, as Iran supports various anti-imperialist groups across the Middle East to counterbalance Israeli and American dominance. The ongoing conflict could further destabilize the region and exacerbate global tensions surrounding nuclear proliferation and military supremacy.
