Media: Iran’s strikes on Israel have subsided

The media reported a decrease in the intensity of Iranian strikes on Israel

Israeli media reported a decrease in the intensity of Iranian strikes on Israel. This is stated in the RIA Novosti material.

The attack reportedly lasted a total of 5 hours. U.S. officials estimate the damage caused by the drone and missile strikes was “relatively limited.”

On the night from Saturday to Sunday, Iran attacked Israeli territory with kamikaze drones. Israeli authorities said that about 200 missiles and drones were launched from Iran. In Iran, the attack was justified by the recent Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria. It was also reported that Israel was attacked not only from Iran, but also from other states, including Yemen.

The Pentagon confirmed Iran’s attack on Israel; the leaders of Great Britain, France, Germany and the EU condemned the Iranian attack.

Eyewitnesses later reported that explosions were heard in the sky over Jerusalem, and the alarm was declared throughout the country. The US and British Air Forces helped repel the attack of Iranian drones and missiles.

Subsequently, the Iranian mission to the UN appealed to the US authorities, urging them to “stay away” from the conflict between Tehran and Tel Aviv. The statement said that the Iranian army’s attack on Israeli territory was self-defense.

Earlier, the United States considered it likely that Iran could attack Israel on Sunday morning. The day before, US President Joe Biden called on Iran not to attack Israel.

The White House reported that the American leader interrupted his day off and returned to his workplace in order to consult with security advisers on the escalating situation in the Middle East.
