This is a new dimension of any potential conflict that needs to be taken into consideration - the conflict with Iran is no longer in the shadows.
Tehran openly targeted Israel for the first time on April 13 with more than 300 missiles and drones in what it said was retaliation for Israel's suspected deadly bombing of its embassy compound.
The Iranians scheduled each of the separate launches so the weapons would arrive at the same time to overwhelm Israel’s defense systems.

Israel is being pressed by its fainthearted friends to abandon its goal of liquidating Hamas, to instead prioritize humanitarian provisions for the enemy population.
The IDF was looking for a way to respond to the attack without being dragged into a direct and ongoing confrontation.
The full Iranian attack consisted of over 300 threats, of which 100 were ballistic missiles launched from Iran.
The survey sample was collected between Sunday and Monday and included 1,466 Israeli respondents aged 18 and older, from a diverse array of Israeli society.
Gallant updated the number of aerial threats used on Saturday to 500 and said that Iran failed in its attack.
The coalition of far-left activist groups is planning to demand an end to US aid to Israel while protesting the DNC on August 19.
