Israel is vowing that they will deliver an “unprecedented response” to the Islamic Republic of Iran after Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel on Saturday night.
Israel’s multi-layered air defense system — combined with air force assets from some of its top allies, including the U.S. and U.K. — shot down 99% of the suicide drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles that Iran fired.
The Times of Israel highlighted a report from Israel’s Channel 12:
Channel 12 quotes a “senior Israeli official” pledging an ‘unprecedented response’ to Iran’s attack and urging Israelis not to go to bed due to what is coming Tehran’s way.
Israel’s Ynet News reported that Israeli officials said, “The fact that Iran for the first time attacks Israel from its territory requires a decisive response and one will come soon.”
Multiple Israeli officials told the London-based Iran International: “Iran’s attacks on Israel tonight will not go unanswered.”
The attack was the first time Iran has ever directly attacked the Jewish state from its own soil using its own assets.
“This will be the first direct attack from Iranian soil by Khamenei’s regime after years of murdering Israelis through his terror proxies,” said Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), a non-partisan institution focusing on national security and foreign policy.

“He has crossed a red line,” Dubowitz added. “Israel now has full legitimacy to take out his nuclear sites, refineries and leadership and military sites.”
Senior FDD adviser Richard Goldberg, who served as the Director for Countering Iranian Weapons of Mass Destruction for the White House National Security Council under former President Donald Trump, said that “major consequences” were required for Iran.
“It doesn’t matter if Israel intercepts 25, 50, 75 or 100% of the threat,” Goldberg said. “You can’t accept as new normal the Islamic Republic of Iran firing ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones at Israel. Period. This is a regime that wants nuclear weapons. Major consequences required.”
