As advertised, iran sends armed drones to Israel
[N.S.: In the wee small hours of the morning, and then in late afternoon, GRA sent me news flashes on iran’s threat against Israel, and then news of iran’s attack against Israel. Since the second news flash rendered the first obsolete, or at least dated, I am publishing both, but in reverse order.]

“(zh) Israeli defense forces spokesperson Hagari said in a televised statement in Israel today that ‘iran launched unmanned aircrafts from its territory towards the territory of the state of Israel.
“He reiterated that the threat will take ‘several hours’ to reach Israel and that the Idk and the Israeli air force are implementing their plan that has been prepared for this moment.
“He noted that if the threat is determined to arrive sooner than expected, updates will be provided.
“in a separate statement, the Idf said Iran ‘launched uavs from within its territory toward Israel,’ adding that the Idf, including the Idf aerial defense array, is on ‘high alert and is constantly monitoring the operational situation,’ as are Iaf fighter jets and Israeli navy vessels.
“the Idf is also monitoring all targets, it said. Hagari said they are also monitoring the threat in the airspace.
“Hagari urged Israelis to be ‘vigilant’ and to follow directives in accordance with the plans.”
GRA: I’m shocked iran didn’t listen to biden—shocked, I tell you.

“iran [sic] attack on Israel is expected ‘soon’”

“the US expects that iran will carry out strikes against multiple targets inside Israel in the coming days and is prepared to help intercept any weapons launched at its ally, sources tell cnn, as the Biden administration is on high alert for what could be the eruption of a significantly volatile and unpredictable period in the middle east.
“president [sic] Joe Biden on friday predicted that iran’s attacks were coming ‘sooner than later’ and sought to once again issue a stern public warning, saying that his message to tehran was simply: ‘don’t.’”
GRA: You just don’t know how much is being orchestrated to allow iran to save face or what type of behind-the-scenes convo is going on. The U.S.A. is attempting to be the referee, director, trusted friend and unpredictable enemy—all at once. Only insiders know what will happen.

IRAN FAILS TO PENETRATE ISRAELI DEFENSE SHIELD;ISRAELI PLANS COUNTERATTACK WITHOUT BIDEN'S SUPPORT.
(ZH)Update(Midnight ET): It is just after 7am Israel local time and Israel's military is reporting the Iranian attack has stopped, several hours after Iran said its 'limited' operation has "concluded" - which involved an unprecedented hundreds of suicide drones as as well as ballistic missiles sent against Israel in retaliation for the April 1st Israeli attack on Iran's embassy in Damascus. Below is the top story from English-language Times of Israel:
Hebrew media reports claim that not a single drone or cruise missile managed to infiltrate Israeli airspace.
According to the unsourced reports, most ballistic missiles were also knocked down outside of Israeli airspace.
A report in Ynet says some 20 cruise missiles were downed short of Israel’s borders. The US, UK and Jordan helped take down many of the drones.
Israel is reporting very little damage inside the country (though previously admitting "minor damage" against at least one key airbase in the south).
After the enormous Iranian drone and missile swarm a senior Israeli official has been quoted by Israel's Channel 12 as saying "Iran’s attack was a strategic failure." The official added in a threatening manner, "Now they can get ready and not sleep in peace." Israel's war cabinet appears to be readying a military response...
Crucially, the Biden White House appears to be strongly signaling to the Netanyahu government that the attack is 'done' and that the United States will not back any follow-up counterattack operations against Iran.
GRA:A "face saver" for the Iranian citizens.

Hundreds of drones and missiles. 95 % a minimum intercepted.
I assume more to follow.
Israeli doomsday plane reputed to have taken off and aloft.
ISRAEL APPROVES RETALIATORY ATTACK ON IRAN--THEN BACKS DOWN AFTER BIDEN CALL TO NETANYAHU
(ZH)An immediate response with strikes within Iran was approved by a clear majority of the Israeli war cabinet but was called off at the last minute following Biden/Netanyahu phone call. The war cabinet still supports the planned response - but not necessarily immediately.
GRA:Hunter Biden?Can't be the old man--he's in nap mode 20 hours a day.
