CNN gets a rare look at the Iranian missiles and drones that hit Israel By Fred Pleitgen, CNN Updated 12:49 PM EDT, Wed May 1, 2024 Tehran (CNN): “You have to ask the Israelis,” Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Brigadier General Ali Belali says with a smirk when asked how many ballistic missiles the Islamic Republic fired towards Israel in its April 14 strike. But he’s more than happy to show the missiles and drones Iran used in its first ever attack against Israel launched directly from Iranian soil. “It was a punitive measure,” Belali says, as he uses a laser pointer to indicate the missiles deployed, towering above him in the exhibit. Two weeks after the Middle East came to the brink of an all-out war, with Iran firing hundreds of projectiles toward Israel in retaliation for a suspected Israeli airstrike on an Iranian embassy compound in Damascus, Tehran is keen to show the world that it is capable of fighting a wider conflict should it be faced with one. On April 19, Israel responded with a suspected attack inside Iran’s borders. Both the Iranian and Israeli actions resulted in minimal damage and appeared by both sides to be aimed at restoring deterrence. That situation de-escalated, but the threat of war continues to loom large over the region as Israel’s offensive in Gaza grinds on. CNN was given rare access to an Islamic Revolutionary Guards exhibit that showcases Tehran’s air and space capabilities, including the types of weapons that were used against Israel last month. American media had never been allowed inside until now. At the permanent exhibit of the Revolutionary Guard Aerospace Forces in western Tehran, dozens of longand medium-range ballistic missiles stand tall along with cruise missiles and drones. The exhibit is meant to show the development and progress of Iran’s drone and missile program. “Today, our drones and missiles have become an important factor of strength and the execution of power in the world,” Belali, himself a former missile commander during the eight-year Iran-Iraq war that ended in 1988, tells CNN. He says Iran’s massive drone and missile barrage against Israel was a major success. Iran’s attack on Israel included drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. The night sky over Israeli cities lit up as the country’s air defenses worked to intercept the projectiles. Meanwhile, the air forces of Israel, the US, the UK, France and Jordan were busy in the skies, also trying to take down as many Iranian drones and missiles as possible. “NATO, The United States and Arab countries of the region wanted to create barriers for our drones, missiles and cruise missiles, but they failed,” Belali says. “The world was not able to stop us.” The Israeli military said that “99%” of projectiles fired by Iran were intercepted by Israel and its partners, with only “a small number” of ballistic missiles reaching the country. The Iranians claim they managed to hit two locations inside Israel, including the Nevatim airbase in the Negev desert. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that ballistic missiles that reached Israel fell on the airbase and caused only light structural damage. “Accurate, (to) less than five meters,” Brigadier General Ali Belali claims, standing in front of two of the ballistic missiles he says were involved in the strikes against Israel, the Ghadr and the Emad. The missiles have a range of more than 1,000 miles and can carry warheads between 450 and 500 kilograms (1,102 lbs), he says. Another missile, called Kheybar, which he says was also used, carries a warhead of about 320 kilograms, the general adds.

US air defenses failed to intercept Iranian missiles: Israeli media 2 out of 8 ballistic missiles shot down by US air defenses, according to Israeli Army Radio Anadolu Staff Writing by Ahmed Asmar 01.05.2024 - Update : 01.05.2024 JERUSALEM US air defenses last month largely failed to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles fired at Israel, Israeli media said on Wednesday. Israeli Army Radio said only two out of eight ballistic missiles launched from the sea were shot down by US air defenses. No further details were provided by the broadcaster, which did not cite any source for its claim. There was no immediate US comment on the report. On April 14 Iran launched a barrage of drones and missiles at Israel, in its first-ever direct attack. Tehran said the attack was in response to an April 1 strike on its consulate in Syria, which left seven military advisers dead. Israel and the US said at the time of the attack that most Iranian missiles and drones were downed before reaching Israel. Israel responded to the Iranian attack a week later by carrying out a drone strike on a military base in the central city of Isfahan, which Iranian authorities claimed to have thwarted.

Israel media: US air defences failed to intercept Iran missiles May 2, 2024 at 8:42 am US air defences failed to intercept the ballistic missiles launched by Iran towards Israel in mid-April, Israeli Army Radio reported yesterday. The station stated that the US systems that were deployed against the Iranian ballistic missiles during the attack on Israel largely failed, as only two out of eight missiles launched from the sea intercepted their targets. No information was provided on the fate of the missiles that the US defences failed to intercept or the source of the information the radio station was reporting. On the evening of 13 April, Iran launched a direct retaliatory attack on Israel using drones and ballistic missiles launched from its territory. This was in response to Israel’s targeting of the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus, in which leaders and members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were killed two weeks earlier. Israel and the United States claimed they intercepted most missiles and drones launched by Iran.
