Following an Israeli airstrike in Damascus that resulted in the deaths of two senior members of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps at Iran’s embassy in Syria, Iran retaliated with a barrage of drones and missiles aimed at Israel on Saturday. However, Israeli defenses intercepted the incoming projectiles.
