This is probably Ukraine, though. Israel uses yellow plates, I think plus the blue stripe was added by Ukraine as part of the EU larping

Interceptors must be so low that such slow moving drones are getting through .
Israel can count on the support of the US and Western countries. But I really doubt that they can do much unless they directly join Operation Rising Lion against Iran.
I agree that Israel expected a total collapse when it eliminated the Iranian chain of command of the IRGC, attacked air bases and carried out a drone campaign hunting down SAMs and mobile launchers, in addition to stirring up all the operatives inside Iran for a popular uprising, but clearly things are not going the way Israel planned and they spent years planning this.
The Iron Dome (Tamir) activation earlier today in Tel Aviv earlier today seem to have been engaging sub-munitions/cluster bombs bloomed from a high altitude dispersal carried by a ballistic warhead.
Beggars can't be choosers.
You must also think that FSA is able to operate without US funding and air support.
You're welcome to ignore the writing on the wall, but the Middle East wouldn't be where it is now if not for Syria's recent westward shift.
Thank you for acknowledging the existence of runways under American control in Syria!
If you're curious about the location of US bases and whether they can support CTOL platforms in northern Syria, data from a fitness tracker company known as Starva may interest you.
Regarding why Iran has drastically reduced the number of missile attacks on Israeli territory in recent days, and why it has shifted from launching massive salvos of hundreds or dozens of missiles to rare barrages—even beginning to fire single medium-range ballistic missiles with a range of 2,000 kilometers.
Known missile bases are marked in red, bombed sites in blue, and sites currently under attack in yellow.
Due to Israeli strikes on launchers, missile bases, and storage facilities, Iran has gradually lost the ability to use large-scale ballistic missiles (with a range of up to 1,600 km) stationed in the western part of the country. It is now forced to rely on individual long-range missiles (approximately 2,000 km) launched from deep within its territory.

To be fair they're not only victims of Iranian aggression, but also victims of their own aggression.
So Iran is now resorting to depleting its limited arsenal of MaRV/MIRV capable, (near-)ICBM class of ballistic missiles to publicly respond to Israeli airstrikes?
If that's the case, Iran isn't long from losing its ability to retaliate against Israeli aggression with ballistic missiles in general.
