Iran launched what was said to be the largest ballistic missile attack in history at Israel on Oct. 1. Israel reported minimal damage and casualties after managing to shoot down most of the missiles.

Virtually the entire nation of 10 million people took to their bomb shelters and safe rooms for about an hour on the evening of Oct. 1 after Iran launched the barrage, which Israel’s leadership said was 181 missiles. They stayed there until the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued an all-clear.
