Original Note:

Military sources warned of the ballistic threat hours beforehand. The campaign simply followed the news https://www.businessinsider.com/houthi-missile-israel-air-defense-system-iran-2024-9 https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/israel-palestine/2024/10/01/iran-preparing-imminent-missile-attack-on-israel-us-warns/ https://apnews.com/article/iran-ballistic-missiles-israel-retaliation-gaza-war-edccddf7a871b78cd5528e265e1e7317
