⚔️The attack on Israel, which was carried out by Iran in response to a strike on its consulate in Syria, happened today. These are the key points:

🔶 Israel has repelled Iran's attack, Netanyahu announced.

🔶 Biden said that with the US help, Israel managed to shoot down almost all missiles and drones launched by Iran.

🔶 An urgent UN Security Council meeting on the attack is scheduled for 8 pm GMT on Sunday.

🔶 Joe Biden will meet with G7 leaders Sunday “to coordinate a united diplomatic response" to Iran’s attack, according to a statement released by the White House.

🔶 Iran fired 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles toward Israel with military bases, airfields and government facilities were the key targets. The damage to Israel was "relatively small" given the scale of the attack.

🔶 Israel has so far responded to the attack with artillery attacks on Lebanese border settlements and rocket attacks on southern Lebanon. The further response will be coordinated with its allies, The New York Times reported.

🔶 US facilities or forces in the Middle East, according to Biden, were not affected by Iran's attack on Israel.

🔶 US president made it clear to Netanyahu that the US will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran, CNN reported.

🔶 Iran said it was not seeking escalation or conflict in the region, but the country would respond more forcefully if Israel decided to retaliate. Tehran said that the UNSC allowed Israel to violate the basic principles of international law when it failed to condemn the Israeli strike on Iran's diplomatic consulate in Syria.
