On 1 October 2024, Iran launched 181[7][note 1] missiles toward Israel in at least two waves,[8][9][10] causing sirens to sound across the country and explosions to be reported overhead in multiple areas of the country, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.[8] The missile attack, codenamed Operation True Promise 2,[11] damaged a school in Gedera[7][12] and a restaurant in Tel Aviv.[12] Two Israelis were lightly injured,[12][7] while one Palestinian man was killed in the West Bank.[3][7]
Iran said the attack was in "self-defense",[13][14] and cited the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, and the assassinations of Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian general Abbas Nilforoushan.[8] Earlier in the year in April, Israel attacked Iran's consulate in Damascus, followed by Iran attacking Israel, followed by Israel attacking Iran.[15]
The IDF reported intercepting a "large number" of missiles and established censorship over the damage it suffered,[16] while the US Pentagon confirmed the US Navy fired around a dozen interceptors, assisted by unspecified partners.[17] Jordan also stated its air defenses intercepted missiles and drones over its airspace.[17] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Iran made a "big mistake" and vowed it "will pay" for it.[18] The US vowed "severe consequences" and committed to collaborating with Jerusalem to ensure Iran pays a price for its actions.[17] Iran has threatened to carry out "crushing attacks" if Israel responds.[10]
