Following Israeli attacks on Iran in the early hours of June 13, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps within 24 hours launched a large retaliatory ballistic missile barrage targeting key air defence sites, airbases, defence ministry buildings in the capital Tel Aviv, the HaKiyra defence complex, and other military sites. Subsequent drone strikes on Israeli targets have since been reported. Anonymous U.S. officials have informed the Washington Post that U.S. Army Patriot missile systems and Terminal High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) systems were used to support effort to shoot down incoming missiles. Unconfirmed reports indicate that a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke Class destroyer in the eastern Mediterranean Sea also participated in air defence efforts, and that the U.S. Armed Forces have diverted additional forces to the region to support the ongoing Israeli war effort. A wide range of footage from Israel has been released confirming success of Iranian missile strikes, and calling into question the scale of the attack. The Israel Defence Forces have exercised strict control on media publishing assessments of the damage.
