In today’s Quickcast:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed retaliation for Iran's missile attack against Israel, saying Tehran would "pay for it."
"The regime of Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves," Netanyahu said in a statement delivered shortly after the attack, which came on the eve Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. "They will understand. We will stand by the rule we established: Whoever attacks, we will attack them."
Iran launched at least 180 ballistic missiles toward Israel Tuesday evening, prompting alerts for people to take shelter across the country. The missiles were seen entering Israeli airspace from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said many of the missiles were intercepted by Israel's air defense systems, though some landed in southern and central Israel.
The U.S. helped Israel defend against Iran's attack. In a statement late Tuesday night, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said, "U.S. forces in the Middle East intercepted multiple missiles launched by Iran toward Israel," calling it an "outrageous act of aggression by Iran."
About 45 minutes after the attack began, and after multiple waves of interceptions, people were given the all-clear to leave their shelters.
Rescue services in Israel said two people were wounded by shrapnel, though their wounds were not serious. Palestinian authorities in the West Bank said one Palestinian man was killed by a missile that landed in Jericho, though it wasn't clear where the missile came from, The Associated Press reported.
