Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III Why do this for Israel with its enormous air/missile defense capabilities but not for Ukraine's cities and civilians which are almost undefended. Let's organize for victory: muster political will and industrial capacity to defeat Russia first and isolate Iran=deter China.

A combination of Israeli missile-defense systems and fighter-jets (operated it seems by more than one country) have intercepted the first waves of drones and missiles launched by Iran. So far 1 Israeli wounded. The west should be providing this level of defense to Ukraine as well

Iran's UN embassy makes a statement on the Iranian attack on Israel, claimed to be a response to the Israeli strike on Iranian diplomatic premises in Damascus.

Despite the drones/missiles not arriving in Israel yet, they claim 'the matter can be deemed concluded'.

Whilst Iran is launching an attack on Israel, Russia is once again attacking Ukraine with the same model of Iranian-supplied kamikaze drone.

I wonder if the Israeli government is regretting turning down the Ukrainian offer to collaborate in developing countermeasures to Iranian drones right about now?
