Iran began its planned attack on Israel late on Saturday with hundreds of drones and cruise missiles launched from Iran. The attack comes after the killing of a senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a strike on Damascus that was attributed to Israel.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Saturday he condemned Iran's "reckless" attack against Israel, which he said showed that it was "intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard".
"These strikes risk inflaming tensions and destabilizing the region. Iran has once again demonstrated that it is intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard," Sunak said in a statement. "The UK will continue to stand up for Israel's security and that of all our regional partners, including Jordan and Iraq."
Al Arabiya is reporting that some of the UAVs and missiles were shot down by U.S. military.
The IDF spokesperson confirmed cruise missiles and hundreds of drones were launched and said they would need between 2 to 5 hours to reach their target and a second wave is seen as possible.
Jordan's air defenses were ready to intercept and shoot down any Iranian drones or aircraft that violate its airspace, two regional security sources said. They said the army was also in a state of high alert and radar systems were monitoring drone activity.
Iranian television quoted the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) saying the attack which they have named "The Real Promise," has began. Earlier Supreme Leader Ali Khamene posted his speech threatening Israel on his account on X...
Reuters quoted two security sources in Iraq who said dozens of drones had been spotted flying from Iran toward Israel over Iraqi airspace in what Iranian Press TV called "extensive drone strikes" by the Revolutionary Guards.

Netanyahu convenes War Cabinet ahead of broader Security Cabinet session.
“The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong,” said the Israeli PM.
(April 13, 2024 / JNS)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night decided to convene the War Cabinet and then the broader Security Cabinet.
The move comes after Iran dispatched dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles from its territory towards Israel, in a much-anticipated response to the April 1 killing of several IRGC officers in Syria.
The drones were expected to take several hours to reach their targets in the Jewish state.
“Citizens of Israel, in recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran. Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively,” said Netanyahu.
“The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong,” he added.

Lawmakers react to Iran’s drone attack on Israel.

Israeli Iron Dome air defense system launches to intercept missiles fired from Iran, in central Israel, Sunday, April 14, 2024. Iran launched its first direct military attack against Israel on Saturday. The Israeli military says Iran fired more than 100 bomb-carrying drones toward Israel. Hours later, Iran announced it had also launched much more destructive…)
Iran launched a missiles and drone attack on Israel on Saturday, in retaliation for the alleged Israeli strike on the Iranian embassy that took out two senior Iranian officers.
The attack started late Saturday night local time in Israel. Israel has its Iron Dome air defense system on high alert, and American forces have reportedly intercepted several Iranian drones targeting Israel.
Several lawmakers and officials reacted to the Iranian attack, which is expected to target the Israeli government and military sites.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said that Israel is facing a “vicious” attack and the U.S. “must stand with its ally. Johnson accused President Biden’s administration of “undermining” Israel.
“As Israel faces this vicious attack from Iran, America must show our full resolve to stand with our critical ally,” Johnson’s office said on social media platform X. “The world must be assured: Israel is not alone.”
“I will continue to engage with the White House to insist upon a proper response. The Biden Administration’s undermining of Israel and appeasement of Iran have contributed to these terrible developments.”
Republican Sen. Marsa Blackburn called for the U.S. to retaliate against Iran.
“Iran has begun launching drone strikes on Israel,” Blackburn said on X. “@POTUS — we must move quickly and launch aggressive retaliatory strikes on Iran.”
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) announced the lower chamber would change schedule for next week to consider Israel legislation.
“In light of Iran’s unjustified attack on Israel, the House will move from its previously announced legislative schedule next week to instead consider legislation that supports our ally Israel and holds Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable,” Scalise posted on X.
“The House of Representatives stands strongly with Israel, and there must be consequences for this unprovoked attack,” he continued. “More details on the legislative items to be considered will be forthcoming.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a longtime Israel ally who called for new elections in the country last month, said he “stands” with Israelis.
“As Israel is under attack from Iran, we stand with Israel and its people, and the United States will do everything we can to support Israel’s defense against Iran,” he said on X.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) said the U.S. stands with Israel and that she will “continue” working to bring support for the country’s defense.
“The United States stands firmly with Israel and its right to defend itself against attacks from Iran and its terrorist proxies,” she said on X. “I will continue working in the Senate to deliver the support Israel needs to protect itself.”
