On Saturday, Iran launched a large, coordinated attack on Israel, reportedly firing more than 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles over the span of several hours. Remarkably, Israel along with its partners intercepted the overwhelming majority of these, with only minor damage resulting to two Israeli military bases. Our initial analysis explains what weapons Iran fired, what the attack indicates about Iran's missile capabilities in general, and how this operation compares to prior Iranian missile attacks on other targets.
