If Iran doesn't destroy the majority of Israeli airbases, this attack is essentially suicide. We'll see how this unfolds, but assuming that Israel hid and protected most of its air assets, Iran is going to be in big trouble.. In the scenario that Iran successfully wipes out Israeli air power, the next question would be if the US intervenes.

I think this is the Air base. Same event from different angles. Seems legit. @Kartal1 Even if there isn't any serious casualties, it demonstrates Iranian missiles can get through, although in small numbers. But I don't think they fired many BMs either.

If placed right, the small numbers that pierce trough the BMD system is enough to cause very serious damage. Israelis report little damage to the base despite the impacts, but it is a war after all.

Israeli media reports that Israel managed to intercept "100 ballistic missiles".
Meanwhile Israel called the UN for emergency meeting of the Security Council.

That seems a bit far fetched. I don't think Iran has more than 400 MRBM that can reach Israel. It is unlikely Iran would launch 100 in this attack. Maybe couple of dozens?
Could be they are also counting short range stuff launched by proxies in Lebanon and Syria.
On another note, looks like Israel gonna respond directly in a serious manner. Or at least that's being reported.

All I care is that it's enough for USA
to pass their $95 Billion usd defense supplemental and that countries like Britain 
, Germany
, France 
, Italy 
, Spain 
, Canada 
and the Scandanavian countries get serious about passing additional meaningful aid and quickly committing to ramping up production. Japan 
and South Korea 
changing some laws about military exports would go a long way as well.- Messages

Agreed. No way they intercepted 100. 20-30, with 10'ish impacting?... That I would believe. 100 seems silly.
I'm sure they probably intercepted 90%+ of drones though.

It will mostly benefit Europeans and Ukraine, no? I don't see how it seriously helps Israel.

If Iran really wanted to hurt Israel, it would have been better for its militias in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria to occupy the Israeli defenses simultaneously with the direct Iranian attack, so that the success rate of the attack would increase.
The failure of the Patriot missile defense system to protect the base and the lights illuminating the runway of the air base can be seen in the video.

Is the attack still going or is it over already?
