    I appreciate that "Iranian media" is largely a political instrument, but even so would they really be announcing the details of ongoing military operations?

    Iran launches drones at Israel in retaliatory attack
    Iran has launched drones at Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night.

    It said the wave could take hours to reach Israel.

    It comes after days of anticipation that Iran was preparing to attack Israel in retaliation for a strike which killed a top Iranian commander.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country's defence systems have been deployed and that Israel's armed forces were ready.

    Conservatives about to use their final card to try and turn round the polls and send us into a war.

    It's about 1200 miles, I haven't a clue how fast a drone flies though. As I said earlier, who announces they're launching an attack, thus alerting the target? :confused

    No word of a lie mate. My daughter came home a few weeks back from Manchester after staying in her friends, via train...took her 2 and a half hours haha. Obviously delays and stuff, but still, it would be quicker walking, almost ;)

    Israel bombed Iranian consulate in Syria sparking this incident. Tbh, f*ck them. Stay out of this, let them saber rattle at Iran and punch each other out. Both governments are awful and deserve zero support.
