OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Iran launched 200 missiles at Israel Tuesday in retaliation for airstrikes and other targeted strikes in September killing Hezbollah leaders.
Iran’s attacks come on the eve of Rosh Hashana, also known as the Jewish New Year.
The attacks also came just after the conclusion of a ceremony in Overland Park at the Jewish Community Center to open an exhibit marking one year since the Hamas surprise terror attack on Israel.
During Tuesday’s event, people signed slips saying where they were when they learned of what had happened last October 7 in Israel. 1,200 stones with names sit at the center of an exhibit titled “A Year Without.”

“It’s a year without end, it’s a year without the time to process. It’s a year without normalcy, we hear so many different responses to what this year has been like,” Neta Meltzer, interim executive director, Jewish Community Relations Bureau, said.
Some of the 1,200 were killed by rocket attacks, others were at the Nova music festival near Gaza where hundreds were taken hostage. About 100 remain held hostage or unaccounted for.
