This afternoon, the Iranian Islamist dictatorship launched a massive attack against the State of Israel, openly targeting its civilian population.
According to the Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post, the attack consisted of the launching of 180 missiles. At 18:36 CET, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) gave the alert of the missile launch from Iran. The IDF has stated that approximately 10 million Israeli citizens are the target of this attack, forcing civilians to flee to shelters across the country.
This is an unprecedented attack that clearly seeks to saturate Israel's air defenses and to spread terror among the civilian population. The IDF was prepared for this attack and all indications are that Israel could soon carry out a large-scale counterattack against Iran, which would have far more devastating effects on Iranian forces than this new attack by the Islamist dictatorship has had on the IDF.
At 19:35 CET, IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari announced that the Iranian attack was over and Israeli civilians were free to leave their shelters. Hagari also noted: "During the defense, we carried out quite a few interceptions. There are some impacts in the center and areas in the south of the country." The Rear Admiral added that they are making an assessment, but that at this time "we are unaware of casualties."
However, at 19:42 CET, Israeli media outlet Belaaz News reported that an Iranian missile killed a Palestinian in Jericho. The Jerusalem Post reported that a building in north Tel Aviv on George Wise Street was directly hit by a missile strike and three people were injured by missile strikes in Tel Aviv.
At 8:30 p.m., The Times of Israel reported that Joe Biden has ordered the US military to help Israel defend itself against an Iranian attack. The US had already increased its military deployment in the area in anticipation of such an attack.
With this attack, the Iranian dictatorship may have committed an act of suicide, forcing Israel to counterattack on a large scale. A counterattack that could put the Ayatollahs' regime on the brink of disappearance. For my part, I express my full support for the State of Israel, the only real democracy in the Middle East, which has been the target of attacks by its Islamist neighbors for decades. We must not forget that the Iranian dictatorship is a state sponsor of terrorism on an international scale, a terrorism that also threatens the West and that has already directed its attacks against Western countries in the past.
You can see some images of this attack here. GLZ Radio has published this image of the rear section of an Iranian missile that has hit Israeli soil, specifically in Tel Sheva, a Bedouin (Muslim) town in southern Israel:
Here we can see a video shared by the IDF in which we see Iranian missiles being intercepted over the Old City of Jerusalem, a clear demonstration that Iran does not even respect a city that is sacred not only to Judaism and Christianity, but also to Islam:

Belaaz News has released this video showing the damage caused by an Iranian missile in a Tel Aviv restaurant:

GLZ Radio posted this video of Iranian missiles landing in the Negev Desert (Israeli air defenses are programmed not to waste resources when enemy missiles land in unpopulated areas, especially when it comes to a saturation attack like today's):

It should be noted that the Iranian missiles, which have flown over Jordanian airspace, have not only hit Israel. In the following video, published by the Aurora Intel account, we can see an Iranian missile falling in Amman, the capital of Jordan:

Finally, Hod Barel posted this video showing an Iranian missile landing in Ramallah, the capital of the territory administered by the Palestinian National Authority (this gives an idea of the poor accuracy of the Iranian missiles):
