In reprisal for Israel’s April 1 assassination of General Zahedi, Iran launches some 350 attack drones and cruise and ballistic missiles at Israel. This is Iran’s first ever direct Iranian attack against Israel, since Islamic Republic came into being in 1979. About 99 percent of the Iranian projectiles are intercepted by Israel’s multi-layered defense system or shot down by Israel, with collaboration from Jordan, France, the U.K., and the United States.
