A "much stronger response" awaits Israel in any "reckless" retaliation it may offer in response to Iran's unprecedented aerial assault, Iran has warned. Iran fired over three hundred unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles at Israel during the night that followed the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1. The Allies and Israel claimed to have intercepted 99 per cent of the munitions.

An unprecedented occurrence has transpired: Iran has initiated airstrikes against Israeli territory. Air raid alerts were issued in Israel during the middle of Saturday night; residents were advised to seek shelter in the vicinity of explosions detected as air defences were activated. Several locations throughout the country were illuminated at night by interceptions, and numerous drones and missiles were shot down by Israel's allies before their arrival on Israeli soil.

Iran, having completed its retaliatory actions, has now declared that the dispute can be considered "resolved." However, Israel is not one to concede defeat to others.

Decades of dispute have surrounded the exemption of ultra-Orthodox individuals from obligatory military service. As the coalition government of Israel was unable to pass legislation to extend the exemption before it expired on March 31, the Supreme Court issued an interim order last week suspending state funding for Jewish seminaries if students refused to comply with the conscription.

A "crucial factor" in locating the three individuals, according to the United States Coast Guard, was the sign. During their week-long ordeal, the forty-something sailors subsisted on coconuts.
