The Israeli military says Iran has launched ballistic missiles at Israel. President Joe Biden has been briefed on the attack.Central PA is under a wind advisory until 6 p.m. Saturday. Sunday is also a CBS 21 Weather Watch Day due to threat of severe thunderstorms. Iran says it has launched ballistic missiles as part of its attack targeting Israel.
The attack late Saturday marked the first time Iran had ever launched a full-scale military assault on Israel, despite decades of enmity dating back to the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution. Hagari said Israel is "prepared and ready" with defensive and offensive actions. He also said there was "tight" cooperation with the U.S. and other partners in the region.
Iran has largely avoided directly attacking Israel, despite its targeted killings of nuclear scientists and sabotage campaigns on Iran's atomic sites. Iran has targeted Israeli or Jewish-linked sites through proxy forces. Earlier Saturday, commandos from Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard rappelled from a helicopter onto an Israeli-affiliated container ship near the Strait of Hormuz and seized the vessel.
