Israel vowed on Tuesday night to have a “significant” response to the Islamic Republic of Iran firing nearly 200 ballistic missiles at the country.
The damage from the attack remains unclear, although it appears that the only person who was killed was a Palestinian who was hit in Judea and Samaria by a piece of shrapnel falling to the ground. Some missiles did hit targets in Israel, but many appear to have been intercepted by the Iron Dome.
An Israeli official told CNN that the country had a “significant response” planned for Iran and that the damage Iran has suffered, including to its terrorist proxy groups, is “only a promo” for what Israel has in store for the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a public statement that the attack would have “consequences” and that Israel already has plans in place that it will execute “at the place and time we decide.”
Three U.S. destroyers positioned in the eastern Mediterranean Sea — the USS Arleigh Burke, USS Cole, and USS Bulkeley — engaged in shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles during the attack, a U.S. official told reporters.

U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan, who has been disastrous for U.S. foreign policy, claimed that there would be “consequences — severe consequences — for this attack, and we will work with Israel to make that the case.”

The Jordanian military said in a statement that its forces have been put “on high alert to confront any attempts that threaten the security and stability of the kingdom.”
“The General Command is closely monitoring the developments occurring in the region and has taken necessary precautionary measures to build and support front-line units on the border fronts to protect the homeland,” a Jordanian official told the network.
