Iran carried out an unprecedented air attack against Israel overnight from Saturday to Sunday. Israel estimated that it had “foiled” this attack by intercepting “99% of the shots” with the help of its allies, including the United States and France.
Emmanuel Macron said he was “doing everything to avoid conflagration” in the region. Israel will “respond to the launch of so many missiles, cruise missiles and drones on the territory of the State of Israel,” declared General Halevi while visiting the Nevatim base in the south of the country. This attack comes after an IDF strike on an Iranian consulate in Damascus. Calls for de-escalation appear to have been in vain. Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi on Monday evening promised a "response" to Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel, during a speech to soldiers at a base hit by an Iranian strike. This is a live broadcast dedicated to the high tensions between Israel and Iran.
