Iran-Israel war enters Day 8: Massive drone, missile attacks escalate destruction on both sides
The Iran-Israel conflict has intensified dangerously as the war enters its 8th consecutive day, marked by relentless airstrikes, drone assaults, and missile attacks. The war began on June 13 when Israel launched an offensive targeting Iran’s top military commanders and nuclear sites. In retaliation, Iran responded with a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones, hitting Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa, leading to widespread damage and civilian casualties.Israel’s air defense systems, including the Iron Dome and Aero systems, have intercepted many threats, with the IDF claiming to have neutralized 95% of Iranian drones. However, despite advanced defense technology, at least 40 missiles have struck major urban areas, killing over two dozen people and injuring around 200 others.Tehran remains defiant, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei reiterating Iran’s refusal to surrender to U.S. or Israeli pressure. Meanwhile, the U.S. has surrounded Iran militarily in the Middle East, with over 20,000 American troops stationed in nearby countries. Warships and fighter jets remain on standby, awaiting orders.As the battle escalates, attempts by European nations to mediate have yielded no results. The war shows no signs of slowing, with both nations vowing to continue until total victory.
