Iran Fires 180 Ballistic Missiles at Israel; Israel Strikes Back at Iranian Soil
On 1 October Iran launched its second direct attack on Israel in six months — 180 ballistic missiles, a faster and harder-to-intercept salvo than the April barrage. Several missiles reached their targets. Israel retaliated on 26 October with strikes on Iranian military and air-defence installations, marking the first time Israeli aircraft struck inside Iran proper. The exchange set a new baseline of direct, reciprocal military action between the two countries.
