JERUSALEM — The dark sky above the Old City of Jerusalem lit up tonight with orange flashes of rocket fire as air-raid sirens rung out across the city.
The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the U.N. said in a post on X that if Israel makes"another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more severe," and that the matter is between Iran and Israel, and that the U.S. should stay out of it. Hagari said the IDF is"closely monitoring Iranian killer drones that are en route to Israel sent by Iran."
At the same time, Iraq's Al Sudani has proposed deeper economic, agricultural, industrial, technological and energy ties to the United States."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," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
He is to meet with principals of the National Security Council to discuss the situation in the Middle East in the Situation Room, the White House said.Janhvi Bhojwani A senior Biden administration official warned that the assault could also involve dozens of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. The official also said they cannot confirm if there have been any interceptions yet or what Iran is targeting in Israel.
Air traffic at Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport will be completely closed during the same time period, according to the statement. Updates will be made according to developments in the situation."I condemn in the strongest terms the Iranian regime’s reckless attack against Israel. These strikes risk inflaming tensions and destabilising the region," U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement.
The spokesperson said the flight schedule from Tel Aviv is likely to change due to the delay in the arrival of flights to Israel and that the Ramon Airport will be closed to traffic. "El Al operates according to the instructions of the security forces and is in direct contact with them," the spokesperson said.Now that Iran has begun its retaliation against Israel, the U.S. is bracing for this to be “a major attack,” according to two senior U.S. officials.
He reiterated that the threat will take"several hours" to reach Israel and that the IDF and the Israeli Air Force are implementing their plan that has been prepared for this moment.In a separate statement, the IDF said Iran"launched UAVs from within its territory toward Israel," adding that the IDF, including the IDF Aerial Defense Array, is on"high alert and is constantly monitoring the operational situation," as are IAF fighter jets and Israeli Navy vessels.
"But remember," Hagari warned,"the protection is never hermetic. That is why it is very important to follow the instructions and obey the instructions of the Home Front Command, they save lives."President Biden will meet with principals of the National Security Council to discuss the situation in the Middle East in the White House Situation Room, the White House said.
