It is the first time that the skies of Israel fill with flashes and hazes from missiles from Iran. The anti-missiles defenses intercepted over 200 cruise missiles and drones sent by Iran. Not all the aircrafts got to enter the Israeli`s airspace thanks to the help of the US and Jordanian defenses. US President Joe Biden said "we helped Israel take down nearly all" of missiles and drones as he expressed strong condemnation for the attack.
The spokesman for Israel Defense Forces soon confirmed that some missiles had entered Israel, but caused minor damage to a military base.
Following the attack Israel’s Prime Minister stated “soon we will win” even if it's unclear what the response from Israel will be.
The attack comes after Iran vowed revenge on the alleged strike of Israel over the Iranian consulate in Damasco back on April the 1st. The attack took 13 lives However, Israel had nor confirmed or denied that the attack was made by its army.

Meanwhile, as President Joe Biden reaffirms its commitment to Israel security, Jordania states that the escalating tension is Israel's strategy to draw attention away from Gaza.
In a threat that this turns into an infinite loop of answer-attacks, on Sunday the UN Security Council called on an emergency meeting to show restraint of a full conflict between the two countries in the Middle East. “Neither the region nor the world can afford more war,” Secretary-general Antonio Guterres told the meeting. “Now is the time to defuse and de-escalate” he stated.
