Iran launches drones on Israel tonight. Is this very serious as in kickstarting ww3?

I wish the UK would stay out of this one.

Israels getting what it wants, they've been indirectly attacking Iran for months, the US will join in to support Israel

I hope the UK now actually pushes for peace

Most likely all the drones will be shot down so it will be more like a warning really. Al Jazeera have listed the reasons behind the consulate attack which is worth reading.

News is reporting ballistic missiles as well as drones.
It does feel like a knife edge at the moment. I honestly hate the fact the world is ran by men. So much violence.

Sister is there with family. preparing safe room. :(

It's awful.. I'm usually not anxious but I just feel this is going to spread quickly.. America absolutely will be jumping in to defend Israel & where will that lead?

Thinking of you all. Hope she is OK x

The Iron Dome will deal with them.

However, the ramping up of hostilities in the ME is really frightening and the adults need to calm the fuck down and stop joining in. Taking sides when the ONLY side should be peace, in order to feed political aspirations is repulsive.

Sending prayers to your sister and family. I hope she's safe x

Sending strength to your sister @BouncebackBetty let's hope this is 'just' drones that can be dealt with, civilians should always be protected.

I'm watching the news on catch up, at one point they said cruise missiles have also been launched but that hasn't been mentioned again.

Feels very scary.

I hope your sister and family, friends and neighbours come through this ok. Terrible times.

None of them will get through, if they even exist. Its just sensationalist headlines, priming our population to see Iran as the bogey man so we can quietly condone more attacks on Iranian assets.

I heard cruise missiles as well as drones. Cruise missiles can carry normal bombs.

My DC and DGC are there and school has been cancelled for a few days.

Bullshit. The IR of Iran has been bankrolling and directly creating terrorism for years.

As well as their horrific treatment of their own people.

Thank you everyone.

I hope they won't.

I do feel however that Israel has asked for this.

@Dreamycinemascape I don't think there's any doubt that they exist? But yes, likely to be shot down.

@Towerofsong I hope your family are safe

Towerofsong, i hope your family stay safe too.

It's a very worrying moment.

This is one of these situations when it's really important to specify the difference between the Israeli people and the Israeli government.

Because the fault of the arseholes will result in harm to the non-combatants.

I was just about to reply stating this.

Totally agree.

An escalation in any conflict is worrying. I certainly didn’t need to read the headlines online before I went to bed. My adrenaline is pumping.

Cruise missiles, drones and now now reports of ballistic missiles.

I’m so scared it will start ww3

Got a feeling this one is the start of something bigger x

I'm in 🇨🇦
Watching Can & US news atm
being called a major attack
