Iran launched a significant number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, at Israel on Saturday. Additionally, Iran activated air defenses near a major air base and a nuclear site in Isfahan after an attack on Friday morning.

Israel's Response and Accusations

Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the killing of Haniyeh, but Iran and Hamas have pointed the finger at them. In response, the Israeli military has intensified nearly daily raids on Palestinian areas.

Ballistic Missile Exchange

According to reports by Courtney Kube and Mosheh Gains, Israel launched three air-launched ballistic missiles into Iran overnight. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has issued a warning in response.

Vow of Retaliation

Iran has expressed its intention to retaliate for the killing of a senior Hamas leader in Tehran last week. At a military parade in Tehran, Iran's President vowed a severe and harsh response to any provocation.
