Iran indiscriminately launched scores of missiles at Israel on Tuesday, in response to what they say is due to the deaths of Hezballess and Hamasshole leaders.
The difference between Israel and Iran is that the former warns civilians of an impending strike, while the latter targets civilians without warning.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned citizens to shelter in place and follow instructions from the Home Front Command as the Jewish State's Iron Dome anti-missile defense system works to intercept incoming rockets.
"During the defense, we carried out quite a few interceptions," IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said after the attack was over. "There are some impacts in the center and areas in the south of the country."
Hagari said that while Israel is still assessing the Iranian attack, officials "are unaware of casualties."

Thankfully, Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile defense system intercepted the rockets as seen from Ashkelon, Israel.
A U.S. defense official told Fox News in a statement that U.S. forces in the region were defending against the Iranian barrage against Israel.
"On accordance with our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, U.S. forces in the region are currently defending against Iranian-launched missiles targeting Israel," the official said. "Our forces remain postured to provide additional defensive support and to protect U.S. forces operating in the region."

The U.S. will not commit to defending its NATO ally because by doing so, someone might get hurt.
And with all the rockets red glare, and bombs bursting in air, Am Yisrael Chai!
