Iran launched a “massive swarm” of more than 300 kamikaze drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles towards Israeli territory, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said. According to him, the defense systems of Israel and its allies in the region intercepted the vast majority of missiles and drones. Dozens of them, he said, were shot down outside the country.
US President Joe Biden said Washington "helped Israel destroy almost all" of them. “Iran and its proxy forces operating from Yemen, Syria and Iraq carried out an unprecedented air attack on military targets in Israel,” said the head of the White House and strongly condemned the air attack.
Biden cut short his trip to Delaware and returned to the White House as tensions rise in the Middle East. After speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he said: “Tomorrow I will gather my fellow G7 leaders to coordinate a unified diplomatic response to Iran’s brazen attack.”
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the attack was aimed at “specific targets” and was carried out “in response to the repeated crimes of the Zionist regime [of Israel], including the attack on the Iranian embassy consulate in Damascus.”
Some time after the attack began, Iran issued a statement indicating that it would not carry out further strikes, but warned Israel against retaliating and the United States against any interference.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on the night strikes on Israeli territory: “We intercepted [missiles and drones]. We blocked them. Together we will win!"
