The Date Of Israeli Move To Strike Iran & KSA Shooted Dowdown Ran’s Missiles
New information about the Iranian-Israeli conflict presented by this episode of Samri Channel.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday evening, citing officials from the United States and other Western countries, that Israel may respond to the Iranian attack on Monday. The newspaper wrote: “American and Western officials expect Israel to respond quickly to the Iranian attacks, perhaps as early as Monday.”
The newspaper did not mention the names of specific officials, but it quoted a prominent member of US President Joe Biden’s administration that during a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden tried to dissuade Israel from a hasty response to the Iranian attack. The Wall Street Journal quoted the official as saying:
“I think the (US) president had a discussion about how we can try to slow things down, and think about things, in light of what we had to go through.” Earlier, Kan 11 TV reported that Israel was ready to immediately counterattack Iran, but at least postponed the operation after a call from US President Joe Biden.
She noted that Biden urged Netanyahu in a telephone conversation with him not to escalate and consider the repulsion of the large-scale air attack launched by Iran the previous day as a victory for Israel. According to the channel, the majority of members of the military-political cabinet were in favor of not delaying the reaction, but the situation changed due to Biden’s intervention and the minimal damage caused by the attack with drones, winged missiles, and ballistic missiles.
Yesterday evening, Saturday, Iran launched a large-scale direct attack on Israel, using dozens of drones and ballistic missiles, in response to Israel targeting the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus, at the beginning of this month.
On the other hand, Israeli army spokesman Admiral Daniel Hagari revealed that the United States, the United Kingdom, and France “moved” during the Iranian strikes toward Israel. Hagari stated that Tel Aviv “is working closely with the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, which took action tonight,” as he put it, adding, “This partnership has always been close, but it was demonstrated tonight in an unusual way.”
Hagari added that, unlike the launches from within Iran, “several launches were carried out from the territories of Iraq and Yemen, but they did not penetrate Israeli territory.”
Last night, Iran launched its first direct attack on Israel using dozens of drones and cruise missiles, after a senior commander in the Revolutionary Guard was killed in an attack believed to be Israeli that targeted the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus last week, in an escalation that portends more tension in the turbulent Middle East.
Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee said that the vast majority of missiles launched from Iran were intercepted outside the Israeli borders, adding that a small number of missiles were observed landing at a military base in southern Israel, “where minor damage was caused to the infrastructure.”
