Israel Gains 'Air Superiority' Over Iran, but Missile Threat Persists as Israeli Casualties Mount

JERUSALEM, Israel – After four days of Israel's Operation Rising Lion, the Israeli military claims it made historic advances against Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure. Yet, Israelis continue, for now, to live under the shadow of ballistic missiles and the threat of destruction.

The Israeli military has gained air superiority over the skies of Iran. In four days, it has carried out multiple attacks on Iran's military leadership and nuclear program. Meanwhile, Israeli civilians, residential buildings and infrastructure are under attack as some "very large" Iranian missiles have evaded Israel's air defenses.
