On April 13, 2024, Iran launched a massive barrage of missiles and drones at Israel, which arrived early in the pre-dawn hours of April 14. This barrage, almost completely intercepted in what has been dubbed Operation Iron Shield, was in response to the alleged Israeli airstrike that killed a top IRGC general in Damascus on April 1. Since then, Israel has launched a retaliatory strike on Iran as tensions remain high.
