Middle East Tensions Soar as Iran Launches Unprecedented Attack on Israel

TL;DR Summary
Iran launched an attack on Israel with more than 300 uncrewed drones and missiles, most of which were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system. The attack resulted in one known Israeli casualty, a 7-year-old girl who was severely injured. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi claimed Iran had taught Israel a lesson and warned of a "heavier" response to "any new adventures against the interests of the Iranian nation." The Iron Dome defense system uses sophisticated radars to track and intercept inbound missiles, with a high success rate in intercepting rockets targeting Israel.
