The latest attack was carried out by Iran on October 1. Iran gave a big challenge to Israel by firing 181 ballistic missiles but it was not successful in causing any damage.
On October 1, Tuesday, Iran attacked Israel with 181 ballistic missiles simultaneously. But this attack of Iran failed. The reason for this is that Israel did not suffer much damage in such a big attack. Only two people were injured in the capital Tel Aviv.
At the same time, a Palestinian citizen died in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Some buildings have been damaged. But there is no news of widespread damage. Israel had prepared a special plan even before Iran's attack. With the help of this plan, it has saved its country from a huge devastation.
America alerted first
America had alerted Israel even before the Iranian attack. America informed Israel that Iran could launch a big attack on Tuesday. This attack will be even more deadly than the attack that happened in April. After getting this input from America, Israel started making plans to avoid the devastation.
This is how Israel prevented a big devastation
After getting an alert from America, Israel alerted its citizens. They were instructed to stay near the bunkers so that in case of an attack, they could immediately take shelter in the bunkers.
The IDF's Home Front Command closed those schools and offices where there were no bunker arrangements. Apart from this, orders were also given to close the beaches. Gathering of more than 30 people in any open space and more than 300 people inside a building was prohibited.
On Tuesday evening, Israel's Home Front Command warned people in Gush Dan in Central Israel to immediately go to the bunkers. People were asked not to come out until further notice. After the Iranian attack stopped, the Home Front sent a message to all citizens on their mobile phones to come out of the bunkers.
The US had already informed that Iran would attack three military air bases and an intelligence headquarters located in Tel Aviv. Israel had evacuated the intelligence headquarters before the attack. This prevented Israel from causing a major catastrophe.
According to the US Defense Department, before the attack, Iran had informed many countries about the time of its attack and how terrible it would be. Earlier in April, Iran had attacked Israel with 300 missiles and drones. At that time also Iran had informed many countries about its attack.
Most of the missiles were shot down in the air
Israel also stopped Iranian missiles with its air defense system. America also helped in shooting down many missiles. The Israeli Prime Minister himself said that the air defense system has saved the country from major destruction.
Israel used David Sling, Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 interceptors to shoot down Iranian missiles. David Sling is capable of shooting down medium-range missiles and rockets in the air. At the same time, the Arrow-3 interceptor destroys missiles fired from 2,400 km away in the air. However, even the air defense system could not stop some missiles.
How much damage was caused?
Israel has not suffered any major damage in Iran's missile attack. Both the US and Israel have called this attack a failure. However, the Israeli army admitted that some Iranian ballistic missiles have targeted an airbase. However, this attack has not affected the Air Force operation. The airbase office has definitely suffered damage.
The fighter planes, drones, other aircraft and war material deployed at the airbase are safe. According to the Israeli medical service, only two people have been injured in the capital Tel Aviv. The Iranian missile has caused heavy damage to a school located in Gadera in central Israel. However, no one has been injured here.
Iran did not fire hypersonic missiles
The Israeli army says that Iran did not fire hypersonic missiles on Tuesday. However, on the contrary, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that it has used Fateh hypersonic missiles against Israel for the first time. Israel also says that Iran does not have hypersonic missiles.
America is increasing military deployment
According to the Pentagon, America is going to deploy thousands of troops in the Middle East. Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said that the number of units already deployed in the Middle East will be increased. America will also deploy F-16, F-15E, A-10, F-22 fighter planes in the region. Meanwhile, the US Central Command announced that three additional squadrons of fighter planes will soon arrive in the Middle East.
