Iran has launched multiple drone attacks on Israel, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as the White House confirmed the attacks, what Iranian Press TV called “extensive drone strikes” by the Revolutionary Guards.
Iran’s response came in response to an attack on the country’s consulate in Syria earlier this month, which Iran blames on Israel. The attack claimed lives of several Iranian commanders.
Speaking in a televised address late Saturday, Israel’s army’s spokesman, Daniel Hagari, said, “Iran launched UAVs from its territory towards the territory of the state of Israel.”
“We are on high alert and readiness.”
These drones could take hours to reach their target, according to Hagari.
The drones were spotted flying over Iraqi airspace, heading towards Israel, BBC reported citing two security sources in Iraq.
