Iran Attack Israel LIVE Updates | Pentagon: Fired Dozen Interceptors Against Iranian Missiles

The Pentagon said on Tuesday (October 1) that two U.S. Navy destroyers fired about a dozen interceptors against Iranian missiles aimed at Israel. Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder told reporters that no other U.S. military assets were used to shoot down the missiles, which were all fired from inside Iran. Ryder condemned Iran's missile assault on Israel, which involved approximately 200 ballistic missiles targeting multiple locations. The attack marked a 'significant ballistic missile attack by Iran against Israel.' He emphasised the U.S. called on Iran to halt further aggression, including actions taken by its proxy forces. Ryder clarified that while the U.S. had been monitoring Iran’s threats for some time, there was no prior warning of the attack. He highlighted the ongoing efforts to prevent a broader regional conflict.

Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for Israel's campaign against Tehran's Hezbollah allies in Lebanon, drawing vows of a sharp response from both Israel and the United States. Alarms sounded across Israel and explosions could be heard in Jerusalem and the Jordan River valley. Israelis piled into bomb shelters and reporters on state television lay flat on the ground during live broadcasts.
