Dubai, June 13 — The skies over the Middle East are filled with uncertainty tonight, as Israel’s military confirmed that Iran has launched a large-scale drone attack in what appears to be direct retaliation for earlier Israeli strikes on Tehran.
Brigadier General Effie Deffrin, spokesperson for the Israeli army, shared a stark update with the world: “In just the last few hours, Iran has launched over 100 drones targeting Israel. Our defense systems are fully engaged, working round-the-clock to intercept these threats and protect our people.”
The situation remains fluid and tense. In response to the attack, Israel has deployed around 200 fighter jets, striking nearly 100 targets linked to Iranian forces. Military officials say the operation is ongoing.
The ripple effects of the escalating conflict are already being felt across the region. Jordan has temporarily closed its airspace to all civilian flights, citing safety concerns amid the intensifying conflict. Other countries in the region are reportedly considering similar measures.
According to the Jordan News Agency, the decision to close airspace is a precaution—one rooted in the growing fear that this regional tension could spiral further.
As night falls, families across the region are staying close to their loved ones, glued to news updates and hoping for calm. For many, tonight is a reminder of how fragile peace can be—and how quickly lives can be upended by decisions made far from home.
