Iran's drones arrive in Jerusalem: Sirens heard across city as Israel fires missiles to intercept

The night sky above Jerusalem was lit up by the more than 150 drones and missile sent by Iran in response to a drone strike at the beginning of April in Syria that killed 12 Iranians, including two top generals. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said via state media: 'The aerospace unit of the Revolutionary Guards has attacked targets in Israel with dozens of drones and missiles in reaction to the Zionist regime's crimes, including the attack on the consulate section of Iran's embassy in Damascus and martyring our commanders and military advisers in Syria.' Missiles have begun to enter Israeli airspace, with video shared with MailOnline showing them being intercepted by the Iron Dome system above Jerusalem, in Israel's east. Blasts were also heard in Jericho in the occupied West Bank, while the Israeli army said it had sounded sirens in the southern Negev region. Iran claims to have dealt 'heavy blows' to an airbase in Negev. Iranian media reported that Tehran's barrage of ballistic missiles has concluded. The drones and cruise missiles are still yet to enter Israeli airspace. Iran has vowed to take further 'defensive measures' if Israel chooses to respond to the salvo. Yemen-based Houthis have also claimed to have shot 'dozens' of rockets towards an IDF base in the north-east of Israel. it is not currently known if the Houthi attacks are linked to Iran's salvo. The UK, among Israel's closest allies, and other nations have reportedly begun to support Israel by sending fighter jets to shoot down the drones and missiles. US officials added that their military also intercepted drones and missiles heading to Israel. #iran #war #israel

[RT-qdyl]

Why is it that geopolitical youtubers like Sucho can give better and more comprehensive coverage of this entire situation in 4 minutes than an actual news organization can do in 10?

[DangerCloseE]

Regardless of the success/failure isn't going to just stop there.

Always been like this since human existence, point one day in human history that didnt have a war. Now we have cameras to film, humanity didn't change.
