The Israeli government has declared a state of emergency following a large-scale Iranian drone attack, launched in retaliation for preemptive Israeli airstrikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities and military infrastructure.
According to IDF spokesperson Brigadier General Effi Defrin and a report by the New York Post, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israeli territory early Friday morning. The assault came hours after Israeli forces initiated Operation Rising Lion, targeting over 100 sites across Iran, including military bases, nuclear facilities, and oil refineries. Anonymous Israeli officials told the New York Post that approximately 200 fighter jets were involved in the operation, deploying 330 munitions.
