On Tuesday evening local time, the mad mullahs of the Islamic Republic of Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles at Israel – the largest ballistic missile attack in history – sending Israelis throughout the entire country to seek cover in bomb shelters.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned citizens to shelter in place and to follow forthcoming instructions via mobile phone alerts from the Home Front Command. IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari addressed the nation, saying, “We are strong, and we are capable in this attack also.”

Unconfirmed reports on social media suggested that up to 400 missiles had been launched, although almost all had been intercepted by the Jewish State’s Iron Dome anti-missile defense system, with U.S. assistance.
“During the defense, we carried out quite a few interceptions,” IDF spokesman Hagari said in a short video message. “There were a small number of hits in the center of Israel, and other hits in Southern Israel. The majority of the incoming missiles were intercepted by Israel and a defensive coalition led by the United States.” He added that officials “are unaware of casualties.”
“In accordance with our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, U.S. forces in the region are currently defending against Iranian-launched missiles targeting Israel,” a U.S. defense official told Fox News in a statement. “Our forces remain postured to provide additional defensive support and to protect U.S. forces operating in the region.”
Three U.S. Navy destroyers are positioned in the Mediterranean Sea along with an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Oman and fighter jets stationed throughout the region to assist Israel if necessary. All are capable of shooting down incoming missiles.
“Our defensive and offensive capabilities are at the highest levels of readiness,” IDF spokesman Hagari added. “Our operational plans are ready. We will respond wherever, whenever, and however we choose, in accordance with the directive of the government of Israel.”
Israel’s Army Radio said Iran had announced that its attack was a response to the IDF extermination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July; Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut on Friday; and senior Hezbollah official Abbas Nilfroshan, alongside Nasrallah. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei previously vowed that “the blood of the martyr shall not go unavenged,” referring to the terrorist monster Nasrallah.
In a related terror attack, at least six civilians were killed and nine injured Tuesday in a shooting/stabbing attack at a light rail station in Jaffa, near Tel Aviv. The two individuals who opened fire on a crowd of people reportedly have been “neutralized.”
Israeli PM Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu issued a statement in which he commended the IDF and thanked the United States. “Iran made a grave mistake this evening – and it will pay for it,” Bibi stated. “The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our resolve to retaliate against our enemies.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned in a statement that if Israel responds to the missile barrage, “it will face crushing attacks.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, declared, “We are ready and prepared defensively and offensively. The State of Israel will take all necessary measures to protect the citizens of Israel. As we have previously made clear to the international community, any enemy that attacks Israel should expect a painful response.”
He added that the UN Security Council will meet Wednesday to discuss the attack. A strongly worded letter chastising Israel and warning against further escalation on Israel’s part will no doubt be forthcoming.
Remember back in 2020 when Joe Biden (remember him? He used to be President) warned that Donald Trump would get the U.S. into a war with Iran? Remember all the hysterical Democrat fear-mongering that Trump would trigger World War III? Remember when the Biden regime handed the Islamic Republic a $10 billion payday back in March, just weeks after an Iran-backed drone strike killed three American soldiers in Jordan? Now Iran is raining a record number of ballistic missiles down on our ally.
“The World is on fire and spiraling out of control,” Trump said in a statement today, and it’s hard to argue otherwise. A dockworkers’ strike was launched today by a yacht-sailing, Bentley-driving, gold chain-bedecked union boss who threatens to “cripple” the American economy. Six Eastern states have been hit with catastrophic hurricane damage; victims there are being told no more aid will be forthcoming from the Democrat regime, which just sent a new infusion of more than $2.7 billion in military aid to corrupt Ukraine, with the promise of billions more, to perpetuate a losing conflict with Russia. Now the Middle East is embroiled in a full-blown war, and the chain reaction may suck America into that conflagration.
Fortunately, Kamala Harris, acting POTUS in the cognitive absence of the deposed Joe Biden, was raised in a middle class family, so she must have a plan for leading the nation and the world in these perilous times.

The mullahs probably need to purchase some asbestos underwear.
Maybe they use cell phones…….
They were probably celebrating Peanut Dhimmi Carter’
s 100th birthday.. He was (along with Barack Hussein Osama and Jihad Joe) Iran’s best president and the founder of the Islamic Republic.
Good one. It gave me the first laugh of the day. It’s funny because it’s based on truth.
How did I miss “Dhimmi Carter?” I go back to Khadaffy Duck!
they fear exploding carrier pidgeons and they warn their leaders – don’t speak – your mouth may explode
MOSSAD will get them – the IDF will follow –
I see we have three mullah monkeys here. Say your prayers to your mythical deity, Allah the moon, because Israel may finally take them out soon.
Yep. To go with their leather pyjamas.
You do realize that Israel has hundreds of conventional nukes and tactical neutron weapons, right? The mullahs in Iran are going to screw around and piss the Israelis off one too many times and end up getting their country turned into the largest radioactive crater on the surface of the planet. Those diaper head savages deserve it.
let MOSSAD send them the underwear
Pretty sure I have no comment in response to Iran’s that will not trigger moderation.
What really bothers me is not the Mullahs or Ayatollahs trying to murder like murderers do …
… what bothers me is that these murderers would have no ability to attack Israel …
… without our money and our sanction and our help.
Wait, you’re not moderated every time you post, like I am? It must be something I said…..
Me too, most times. I don’t care and barely notice it anymore. It does hinder timely comments, though.
EVERYTHING I post is “awaiting moderation” and usually states it will be posted in eight hours or more! I’m a reasonable guy who loves his Nation and abhors the DEMOcrats/rinos who are doing their WORST to DESTROY IT! Maybe it was something I said???
You are not being moderated, you just have to wait for your post to be approved, They have to screen them to keep the spammers out of their comments section.
They know that because they see their posts appear later. They just expressed “awaiting moderation” as “moderated.”
And for those with their heads in the sand …
… Western leaders who support Iran …
… hate the West.
… hate the Whitey.
… hate the Christian.
Oh, and they don’t like Israel.
So … if you stand with Israel …
… you’re automatically the enemy of your enemy.
Unless you hate the West, Whitey, and Christians.
And you don’t even have to be Jewish, Christian, White, or even Western.
You just have to a decent normal person.
Who knew it was that simple?
I’m pretty sure those oikophobes hate Israel even more than they hate their own Western culture, Dan. The Europeans, UK and Canadians hate America out of resentment, the Aussies tend to hate America out of ignorance, and they all hate Israel because it’s filled with Jooooooooos!
I walked past a Palestinian protest group outside a church in London a few times this week and every time I said “But it’s okay for hamas cowards to behead women and children”
Yesterday as I walked past for the final time on my way to the train I shouted “Hey let’s gas the Jews”
They all laughed.
Too bad you didn’t have a flamethrower. Sounds like a good place for a Paleosimian barbeque.
Everytime they do this they should take land. permanently.
What land, though? Judea, Samaria and Gaza already belong to Israel, although that MORONIC TRAITOR, Ehud Olmert, rendered Gaza Judenrein and now the subhumans are autonomous there and have a fake government ruled by the jihadist terrorists of Hamas.
Israel could take Lebanon and I’d be fine with that.
It was Sharon who withdrew from Gaza, providing the enemy with a new attack base. Some months later he had a stroke and Olmert took over. And attack they did – in 2006, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2021, and 2023.
You’re right. I forgot about that. It’s been nearly twenty years so my memory failed me. Sharon was the wretched traitor who rendered Gaza Judenrein and Olmert was the one who allowed Hamas to take over.
I see we have two Hizb’allah homos here.
The only safe way to do that would be with population removal. That would be logistically and politically difficult.
Alzheimer Joe’s handlers are now Chlamydia Harris’s handlers. No way is she in charge.
Chlamydia sucks.
Israel is doing what it should do. Its time to deal with regimes that continually try to destroy the state of Israel and now threaten Israel with nuclear weapons. Iran is a threat to the whole world.
Hostage rescue operation is going swell huh. Longest war in Israel’s history.
And the longer it goes on, the better for Bibi.
It isn’t a war, it’s a jihadi terrorist eradication campaign.
And what hostages are there to rescue, even though Israel is doing all it can? Where’s the proof of life?
As if you care about any possible hostages. It probably frustrates you that some of them have been recovered and rescued, even though your Hamas heroes got plenty of terrorists in exchange. You probably jerk it to October 7th murder porn.
If you are competing for the most stupid comment of the week, you have a real chance to win. Israel is very lucky to have a leader worthy of the name during war time, especially when comparing with the other leaders of what used to be ‘the free world”.
Good thing Iran doesn’t have nukes. Bibi lied!
How about Israel stop flipping around and nuke those savages back to the stone age? That would solve all of Israel’s problems for generations to come.
How? The Iranians can’t bomb anyone if there is no Iran. Moreover, I seriously doubt if other “actors” in that region of the world would be chomping at the bit to step in and fill the void left behind by a recently deleted from existence Iran.
Fear, when properly employed, is a very powerful and effective deterrent.
Iran is hard at work with its nuclear program and is by all accounts close to completion. And by “Iran,” I mean the mullahcracy which is detested by the overwhelming majority of Iranians.
Obviously, YOU are the liar. You aren’t fit to wipe Bibi’s ass with your tongue.
iran and its proxies including america will pay a heavy price , they just dont know it yet .
By “America,” you mean the current administration in the White House, of course.
If Israel fires missiles at Iran, or sends bombers escorted by fighter jets, it will give Trump a leg up in our election here.
Even with US military support, the anti-Semites would screw up any advantage Harris might derive from support of Israel by the Biden administration.
At the time when it was necessary to be firm and say: no, Gaza will never be under Palestinian authority because the Palestinian authority is violently anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist and mainly affirms that all of Palestine must be freed from Zionism and teaches it to the little Arabs, the government of the time said yes.
Then in 2005 thousands of Israelis were driven out of Gaza by their own government, it was a total shock for them.
And on October 7, 2023, 1200 Israelis were massacred, in the worst possible conditions, that even the human mind cannot imagine, with today I do not know how many hostages and soldiers killed in combat.
Not to mention all the rockets fired and the evil caused since 1993 by these mahometan fanatics.
And now a war with Iran begins.
There is something in this story that is completely beyond me and that I find revolting.
Anyone betting the Left transforms Que Mala into General Schwarzkopf by the end of the month?
How? They own the means of production… be it via Hollywood or even worse, mal-coded AI algorithms with near-instant video generation to flood the zone.
Iran has declared war on Israel – Israel has one job – to eliminate those in Iran sending in jihad terrorists maltias and missiles –
Sad for the Iranian people who just want to live – there will be blood shed in Iran –
The world as betrayed by the UN is already antiemetic and anti-Israel and when Israel wants to end this, the UN will escalate their condemnation of Israel and other nations will pursue the destruction of Israel and WW3 will ensure.
Armageddon to ya, sweethearts?
In 5 days, one year (October 7, 2023) since the bloody horrid genocide against innocent Israeli children, women and men in ways not totally publicly known because it’s too terrible.

“It was a mostly peaceful rocket barrage.”

That was very funny, Mr Tapson. Pointing out Kamala was raised in a middle class family-and so she would know what to do. I’m still laughing.
Perhaps, Tim Walz can tell us- at his next debate with JD- that in the past he has been a secret agent in Mossad, and just as soon as the war is over he is going to take up arms against Iran.
Thanks again for a comprehensive article on just what happened and what is going on in Israel during and after the ballistic missile attacks by Iran.
I didn’t know that FrontPage is pro-Russian. I’m canceling my subscription and will never visit again.
Heading back to the Vietcong? I didn’t know there were any left. Good idea, though. The Vietnamese would kill you. They got rid of that commie crap a long time ago.
Charley:
Really dude? Accusing FrontPage of being pro-Russian is a rather bizarre accusation that you cannot prove with factual evidence.
There are tens of thousands of people who read FrontPage on a daily basis. You do you and storm off in a huff and never come back.
Are you pro-people with no brain ?
“I’m canceling my subscription and will never visit again.”
Good luck.
Those vicious tyrants who are in power on that aggressive and hostile Islamic regime of should receive severe retribution for those missile attacks into Israel. They and their bellicose regime should be now on the receiving end of the wrath of the strong power of the military might of the Israel Defense Force. For that is the only language that those horrendous despots of Iran are able to understand.
That vicious tyrants of that “mullah regime “ of Iran has the ability to launch many murderous and destructive ballistic into the State of Israel with that malicious and deadly Islamic goal of killing her peaceful citizens.
One major factor that has the power to this evil is ,largely, because of Joe Biden , who strived to get the economic sections lifted that had been justly enacted , the President Trump and his administration, against that aggressive and hostile Islamic regime of Iran with the funds so that it now provides Hezbollah with those missiles .
Joe Biden has the blood of many innocent people on his treacherous and wicked hands.
Biden is guilty as sin.
That fiendish villain and treacherous rat, Joe Biden, indeed, has totally betrayed Israel. Biden is so very diabolical as to attempt to get sanctions lifted against Iran that then it has received billions of dollars some of the vast amount of money to Iran. So it now to launches those ballistic missile attacks into Israel.
Truly, Biden treacherous scoundrel.
