Iran /Israel: 14 April 2024: Iran had launched more than 300 drones and missiles on Israel in an unprecedented attack, a large-scale attack on Israel with drones and missiles, but the Israeli military, with help from the United States and allies, intercepted most of them. Iran said the attack was in response to a previous airstrike on its consulate in Damascus.

The attack injured at least 12 people in Israel. Both the US and allies like the UK and France reaffirmed their commitment to Israel's security.

Iran has declared its retaliation concluded but warned Israel not to respond further. The situation is being closely watched, with calls for restraint from countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and China.

Iran’s allies in the region joined the attack with Yemen’s Houthi rebels also launching drones at Israel, according to security agency Ambrey, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement announcing rocket fire at Israeli positions in the annexed Golan Heights.

Biden’s handling of the Middle East conflict will also be under scrutiny in a US presidential election year. Former US president Donald Trump, Biden’s rival in November’s election, said the Democratic incumbent was showing “weakness”. “God bless the people of Israel. They are under attack right now. That’s because we show great weakness,” Republican Trump said at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
