“Israel Strikes Iran in Narrow Attack Amid Escalation Fears,” WSJ, 4-19-24. I’m sure this was less than the almost 350 ballistics, tomahawks, and drones that Iran tried to use against Israel, which could have killed hundreds or more. The best picture of Iran’s intent and unwise decisions remains the Dome of the Rock image from Jerusalem (and just after Quds Day!) with the incoming missiles reigning down and getting shot out of the sky by the IDF.
“Israel carries out strike in Iran, Israeli official says; no damage to nuclear sites, IAEA says,” WPost, 4-19-24. The Post does have this right—“it was intended to signal to Iran that Israel had the ability to strike inside the country.”
Ah ha. Iran does not keep its promise to retaliate, going so far as to say the following. “No missile attack against Iran, Iranian official tells Reuters,” Reuters, 4-19-24.
“Israel launched ‘limited’ strike on Iran,” Politico, 4-19-24.
“Iran says no retaliation planned, as both sides seek distance from Isfahan attack,” Times of Israel, 4-19-24.
