Iranian Drone Attack on Israel: Hundreds of Drones Intercepted

On June 13th, 2025, Iran launched a barrage of armed drones toward Israel in response to an Israeli attack. Al Jazeera reported that hundreds of drones were involved, marking the first direct attack of its kind from Iran. Israeli defense systems, aided by allies, successfully intercepted the majority of the drones before they reached Israeli airspace, preventing significant damage. The drones, including Shahed models, flew over neighboring countries such as Jordan before approaching Israel. This attack escalates tensions following the "Operation Rising Lion" offensive against Iran. One eyewitness described the scene as 'terrifying, but the defense systems were clearly effective.' The incident highlights the ongoing conflict and the sophisticated defense mechanisms employed by Israel and its allies.
