Late Saturday Iran fired off missiles and 50-100 drones in an unprecedented attack from Iranian soil on the state of Israel.
Israel later announced that 99% of Iran’s missiles were taken down and did not reach their target. US ships assisted in shooting down the incoming missiles that crossed over Iraqi and Jordanian airspace before they were shot down by Israel.
This was the first time the Iranian regime fired on Israel directly – typically Iran uses its affiliates of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi rebels in Yemen to do their dirty work.
On Sunday, Iranian leader Ayatollah Khamenei posted a threatening tweet on X in Hebrew.
After Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel on Saturday-early Sunday morning, Khamenei threatened Israel, “Al-Quds will be in the hands of the Muslims, and the Muslim world will celebrate the liberation of Palestine.”
Obviously, Khamenei taunting the Israelis after his unprecedented strike against Israel just hours earlier.
Whenever Muslims speak about the liberation of Palestine they are talking about the total destruction of Israel.
Israeli Defense Minister Ben Gvir responded to the tweet — “Are you talking about the same holy Al-Quds that you wanted to shell yesterday and the Israeli defense prevented you from doing so?”
אתה מדבר על אותה אל קודס הקדושה שרציתם להפגיז אתמול וההגנה הישראלית מנעה מכם?
