On Saturday afternoon, Iran launched dozens of drones towards Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released a statement...
"A short while ago, Iran launched unmanned aerial vehicles from its territory towards the territory of the State of Israel. The air defense array is on high alert at the same time as the Air Force planes and Navy ships that are on a mission to protect the country's skies. The IDF is monitoring all targets."
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the attack and said it was in response to an April 1st strike by the IDF in Syria that killed several high ranking Iranian commanders, including Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and several other IRGC members. They said they will hit specific targets in Israel with dozens of drones and missiles.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said for weeks the administration has "been preparing for a direct attack from Iran."
"Our defensive systems are deployed. We are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively.'
"We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them."
