On 13 April 2024, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) of Iran, in coordination with the Popular Mobilization Forces of Iraq,[26] Lebanese group Hezbollah, and the Houthis of Yemen, launched attacks on Israel,[a] codenamed Operation True Promise (Persian: وعده صادق, romanized: va'de-ye sādeq),[27][28] using drones, cruise, and ballistic missiles.[29] The retaliatory attacks were launched in response to the Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus on 1 April, that killed 16 people,[30] and were Iran's first direct attack on Israel since the beginning of the Iran–Israel proxy war.[31]

The Israel Defense Forces reported that Iran launched over 300 projectiles, including around 170 drones and over 120 ballistic missiles, and stated that the vast majority were successfully intercepted,[32][33] while a few missiles were not intercepted, with one causing minor damage to the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel, which remained functional.[34][35][36] Israel's interceptions included those by the Arrow 3 and David's Sling systems.[37][38] The United States, United Kingdom, and Jordan also used their own forces to intercept Iranian drones,[39][40] and France deployed its navy.[41]

According to Iran, the intercepted drones were "kamikaze" Shahed 136 drones only meant to saturate and overwhelm the above-mentioned Israeli air defense system, such that the tens of the ballistic missiles launched in the second wave could breach this multi-layered system,[42] which, according to Tasnim, successfully hit their targets, inflicting significant damage to the bases used for the attack on the Iranian consulate.[42][43]

Jordan reported some shrapnel falling on its territory, causing no significant damage or injuries.[34][35] One person, an Israeli Bedouin girl, was injured due to being hit by part of a missile. Thirty-one other people suffered either minor injuries from shrapnel while rushing to protected areas or were treated for anxiety.[23] The next day, Iran's envoy to the United Nations said that the attacks "can be deemed concluded".[44]

Iran's attacks have drawn criticism from the United Nations, several world leaders[who?] and political analysts, who warn they risk escalating into a full-blown regional war.[45][46][47][48]

Background

On 7 October 2023, Hamas, a militant organization supported by Iran, carried out an attack in southern Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 individuals.[49] Israel responded by launching the ongoing Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, which, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, has resulted in the deaths of more than 33,000 people so far. Iran has accused Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians of Gaza.[50][51]

After 7 October, the Iranian-backed proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon began attacking northern Israel.[52] There have been over 4,400 violent incidents recorded between Hezbollah and Israel since the start of the war,[53] and approximately 100,000 Israelis have been evacuated from northern Israel since the beginning of the conflict.[54]

On 1 April 2024, the Iranian consulate annex building adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, was struck by an Israeli airstrike, killing 16 people, including Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior Quds Force commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and seven other IRGC officers. Soon after the attack, Iran vowed revenge,[55] with reports suggesting this as a potential motive for the airstrike.[56] Iran reported the building was part of the embassy compound, while Israel maintained it was a building used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and located outside the fenced compound of the embassy.[57][58] Numerous countries and international organizations condemned the attack; the United States denied involvement or prior knowledge.[59]

Damage to the Iranian consulate following the airstrike on 1 April.

In the weeks following the attack on the consulate, the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom all warned Iran not to attack Israel, stating that such an attack would be a major escalation and could lead to a military response by the West against Iran.[60][61][62] Iran was warned by Israel that such an attack could lead to a direct Israeli military response on Iranian soil.[63] Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Kuwait have reportedly[according to whom?] taken steps to prevent the US from using its bases in their territories for a possible attack against Iran.[64][65] In early April 2024, Iran sent a message via the Swiss embassy to the United States, threatening to attack United States military bases in case of its support in a possible Israeli aggression.[66][67][68]

13 April

Iran launched a massive drone and missile attack targeting, among other unconfirmed trajectories, sites in the Golan Heights, Arad region and two airbases in the Negev desert[29] on the evening of 13 April 2024.[69][70][71] The attack consisted of more than 200 missiles and drones according to the Washington Post[69][70][72][73] and included ballistic missiles according to Iranian news agency IRNA.

According to the Iranian Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, the primary targets included the Nevatim Airbase from which Israel launched the attack on the Iranian consulate, as well as the intelligence center in the Israeli-occupied part of Mount Hermon which supplied the intelligence. The operation were intentionally limited to keep it as a retaliatory attack against the Israeli attack on Iranian consulate.[74][43] Other targets include the Ramon Airbase in the south of Israel.[75] Tasnim published videos of targets being hit.[43]

According to Tasnim, the tactic used consisted of saturating the Iron Dome and David's sling with a first wave of hundreds of HESA Shahed 136 kamikaze drones, followed by launching tens of ballistic missiles as the second wave of attack, which according to Iran managed to pass the Israeli air defense system.[17]

The attacks were in coordination with the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces,[76] Lebanese group Hezbollah,[2] and the Yemeni Houthis.[1] The attack was named Operation True Promise[77] (Persian: وعده صادق, romanized: va'de-ye sādeq),[78] with the code name Ya Rasul Allah (یارسول‌الله(ص)).[21] Drones, cruise and ballistic missiles were employed.[8] Some of the released videos indicated the use of Shahed 136 drones.[79]

American and British warplanes shot down an unspecified number of Iranian drones, according to American officials and Israeli Channel 12.[80] The Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous French officials, reported that France was deploying naval assets to assist Israel.[7]

Early reports

In the early minutes of the attack, Israeli officials estimated that around 100 drones had been launched,[81] while a US official predicted that 400 to 500 drones and missiles would be launched from Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, though the majority would be from Iran.[82] The presence of missiles was deemed possible.[8][83] According to Israel[84] and Iran,[85] only military sites had been targeted.

14 April

Hezbollah said it launched dozens of Grad rockets at an Israeli air defense site in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The group said the attack took place shortly after midnight local time.[2]

At approximately 2:00 a.m. local time, explosions were heard in Jerusalem, while air raid sirens sounded across Israel, the West Bank, and the Dead Sea. It is unknown whether the explosions were interceptions by the Iron Dome or missile strikes.[86] Iranian missiles above the Al-Aqsa Mosque were intercepted.[87] Tel Aviv and Dimona, which is home to a nuclear facility, were also targeted.[88]

Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait and Israel all closed their airspace in response to the attacks, with Iranian airspace being closed to VFR-only flights,[89][90][91] Egypt put its air defense on high alert.[92] Iran warned Jordan against providing any possible support for Israel.[93] During the attack, the IDF jammed electronic guidance systems to disrupt missile navigation.[94]

The head of US CENTCOM went to Israel to coordinate air defenses.[95]

Residents in Amman, the capital of Jordan, reported seeing flashes in the sky above the city.[96] In the city's Marj al Hamam area, residents gathered around the remains of a large drone that had been intercepted.[97]

According to the IDF, Iran launched over 170 drones, 30+ cruise missiles, and 120+ ballistic missiles, with 99% of them successfully intercepted.[32] IDF jets struck military targets in southern Lebanon belonging to Hezbollah's Radwan forces.[98]

The IDF reported that Iran launched over 300 projectiles, including around 170 drones and over 120 ballistic missiles, the vast majority it claimed was successfully intercepted,[32][33] mostly by the Arrow 3[37] and David's sling[38] interception systems.[99]

The United States, United Kingdom and Jordan also used their own forces to intercept Iranian projectiles,[100][97] and France deployed its navy to provide radar coverage.[14]


Casualties

There were no deaths reported from the strikes, however a number of injuries were reported. A 10-year-old Bedouin girl was seriously injured by shrapnel from an interception in the Arad area,[101][24] and a seven-year-old girl was critically injured.[102] At least 31 others were treated for minor injuries sustained from either shrapnel while going to protected areas or for anxiety.[23][25]

Aftermath

Hours after the beginning of the attacks, Iran's envoy to the United Nations stated that the retaliatory attack "can be deemed concluded", and that Iran will respond with "stronger and more resolute" actions if Israel were to "make another mistake". It also urged the US to stay away from the Iran-Israel conflict.[103][33][104] President Ebrahim Raisi said that Iran had taught a "lesson" to Israel through the attack.[105]

Iraq, Jordan, and Israel reopened their airspace soon after the attacks were over.[106][107] More than two flights (Wizz Air and Royal Jordanian) were diverted to Cyprus with over 700 passengers.[108][109] The Cyprus Air Command alongside the two main airports on Cyprus were also placed on high alert as a result of the attack.[110] Demonstrations broke out in cities across Iran and in the Gaza Strip[111] in support of the strikes.[112]

The effective interception has led to an increase in the stock prices of Israeli defense firms, such as Elbit Systems, Aerodrome Group, NextVision, and Aryt Industries.[113]

Analysis

According to CNN, the attack was an Iranian operational success because Iranian drones and missiles flew past Jordan and Iraq, which both house US military bases, and all the air defenses before penetrating the airspace of Israel and some missiles even hitting the targets.[114]

The Economist wrote that "the strike was militarily a flop", adding that Iran "may have miscalculated".[36] Al Jazeera opined that Iran, in no longer relying solely on its proxies, launching its first attack on Israel from its own soil, its largest missile attack, and the largest drone strike in military history, has increased both its deterrence and its soft power in the wider Muslim world.[115] The Jerusalem Post noted that the Iranian attack demonstrated that the events of 7 October did not undermine the Israel-Sunni regional alliance.[116]

Dov Zakheim, a former undersecretary of defense in the George W. Bush administration, noted that "Iran is an existential threat in a way the Palestinian issue is not", thus bringing to the fore American deterrence vis-à-vis Iran.[117] John Bolton called the attacks a massive failure of US deterrence.[118]

Reactions

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian declared that Iran does not welcome escalation, and the purpose of the Iranian operation was the exercise of the legitimate right of Iran for self-defense.[85] The Iranian government declared its reprisal against Israel a success and concluded.[119]

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said IDF halted the attack impressively.[120] Gallant stated that the attack was successfully repelled with the assistance of the United States and other countries. He emphasized the opportunity to form a strategic alliance to counter the serious and possibly nuclear threat posed by Iran.[121] Israel vowed "a significant response" to Iran's retaliation.[122]

Hamas said that the Iranian military operation against Israel was a "natural right and a deserved response" to the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and assassination of IRGC leaders there.[123] The Houthis said that the attacks were a legitimate response to the strike on Iran's consulate in Damascus.[124]

International

Canada condemned the attack, and the United States said it would support Israel's defense.[125] Saudi Arabia called for restraint, and said that the United Nations Security Council must take responsibility for maintaining peace and security in the region.[96]

On 14 April, protesters in Toronto cheered the airstrikes, chanting "Allahu Akbar!" A protest leader characterized the strikes as a response to Israeli airstrikes in the region, while Melissa Lantsman, a member of parliament, said that the chants showed "It was never about a ceasefire". Other chants included "Intifada, Intifada, long live the Intifada" and "From the water to the water, Palestine is Arab".[126]

One of the first leaders to respond to the attack was British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, stating: "The UK will continue to stand up for Israel's security and that of all our regional partners, including Jordan and Iraq."[127][128] The United Kingdom condemned the Iranian attack on Israel as "reckless".[129]

US President Joe Biden shortened a planned visit to Delaware and returned to the White House to meet with national security officials.[130] Biden called the intercepted attacks a win for Israel,[131][132] and committed to a unified diplomatic response from the G7.[133] The Embassy of the United States in Jerusalem posted a security alert urging its workers to seek shelter until further notice.[134] Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the United States would not back Israel in a possible future counter-attack against Iran.[135][131] US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asked Israel to give the United States advanced notice if they plan to attack Iran.[136]

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has stated on a phonecall to his Iranian counterpart that Turkey did not want further escalation following Iran's retaliation on Israel. The Iranian Foreign Minister told Fidan that its “retaliatory operation” against Israel had ended, adding that Iran would not launch a new operation unless it was attacked.[137]

On 14 April, Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh stated that any regional escalation would lead to "dangerous paths", adding that all parties involved needed to de-escalate.[138] And on the same day, the country's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi stated that Jordan would take "all necessary measures" to protect its sovereignty and security and that it will tackle threats facing its citizens.[139][140]

On 13 April, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides called for an emergency meeting of the National Security Council which was held on 14 April to discuss the developments in the region.[141][142] Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack on Israel.[143] Furthermore the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a precautionary measure enacted the "Estia" plan.[144][109]
