Video of the attack seems to be making its way to X … though it’s hard to tell exactly what’s happening in the clips. The sound of planes can clearly be heard in some of the clips — and people are saying it’s Iranian drones heading for Israel.

In recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran.

Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu put out a statement via his official X account … telling people Israel’s been preparing for an attack for some time — and saying Israel will stay strong through the offensive.

This attack comes months after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, killing hundreds at a music festival in the country. Israel responded with a full offensive in the Gaza Strip … one which has stirred up controversy all over the world.

Iran’s leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly said Israel would be punished earlier this week … and it appears now he was referencing this attack.
