JERUSALEM: Iran launched drones at Israel directly from its territory on Saturday, the Israeli army said, significantly escalating the long-running secret war between the regional foes.
“Iran launched UAVs from its territory towards the territory of the state of Israel,” Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement.
“We are working in close cooperation with the United States and our partners in the region in order to act against the launches and intercept them,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Israel warned that Iran would suffer the “consequences for choosing to escalate the situation any further” as fears mounted of wider conflict more than six months into Israel’s war against Hamas fighters in Gaza.
Furthermore, Iran Guards have also confirmed that drone attack was under way against Israel
Meanwhile, Washington has said that US will ‘stand with people of Israel’. Iran’s neighbour Iraq has closed its airspace after Iran launcheed attack on Israel.
