Why did Iran attack Israel yesterday? Following an Israeli airstrike that killed people at the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Iran launched a counterattack with drones and missiles aimed at Israel.
Israel has remained conspicuously silent on whether they launched the surprise attack on Iran’s consulate in Damascus.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, most fingers point towards them. This strike shatters the status quo that existed between the two nations for years.
Previously, they engaged in a covert conflict, targeting each other’s assets but avoiding direct confrontation and public blame (shadow war).
This clandestine struggle intensified dramatically in the wake of the ongoing Gaza war, which erupted last October when Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, launched attacks on Israeli settlements near the border.
The Iranian drone and missile on Israel signifies a dangerous escalation, marking the first time Iran has directly targeted Israel. This tit-for-tat exchange raises serious concerns about a potential wider conflict erupting in the already volatile region.
