Relations between the two countries have rapidly deteriorated following an attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria. Tehran then threatened retaliation against Israel. In the early hours of April 14, Iran launched hundreds of missiles and UAVs at the country, some of which were successfully intercepted en route. Following this, Tel Aviv vowed a definite response to Tehran.
Today, April 19, as reported by ABC News, the Israel Defense Forces struck Iranian territory. Military officials reported the downing of several UAVs near the city of Isfahan. However, no rockets were detected.
