On October 1, Iran`s Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at Israel, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two nations. This retaliation followed recent Israeli operations against Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon. Reports indicated that over 180 missiles were fired, with Israel activating its air defenses to intercept them. The U.S. Navy also deployed interceptors in response to the threat. Iran claimed that 90 percent of its hypersonic Fattah missiles hit their intended targets, although no injuries were reported in Israel; however, one fatality occurred in the occupied West Bank. This attack demonstrated Iran`s solidarity with Hezbollah amid rising regional tensions and followed warnings from the U.S. regarding potential missile threats from Iran.
