In January 1991, the Gulf War intensified as Iraq, under the leadership of Saddam Hussein, launched a second Scud missile at Israel. This event occurred a few weeks after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, prompting widespread international condemnation and the formation of a coalition to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. The Scud missile strike on Tel Aviv was a strategic move designed by Hussein to provoke an Israeli response, which he believed would undermine the coalition and galvanize Arab nations against Israel and the United States. The missile was launched from positions in Iraq and was part of a series of attacks targeting Israeli cities. The resulting explosion injured 15 civilians, causing significant panic and fear among the population.This attack also raised significant concerns about the dynamics of the Middle East conflict. Israel, which had been urged by the United States not to retaliate against Iraq to maintain the fragile coalition against Hussein, faced pressure from its own citizens to respond to the attack. The impending threat of Israeli retaliation added complexity to an already precarious geopolitical situation, leading to a tense standoff as the world watched how the situation would unfold. New technologies were deployed in Israel for defense, including the use of advanced Patriot missile systems designed to intercept incoming threats, marking a significant evolution in military defense strategy.
