Iran has launched an attack on Israel with drones and missiles.
The drones are expected to take several hours to reach
Israel.
The attack is believed to be a retaliatory move following an
April 1 attack reportedly carried out by Israel on the Iranian embassy in
Syria, which killed seven Iranian military officers.
The attack will escalate the tension in the Middle East amid
the ongoing war between Isreal and Hamas, which has recorded high casualty.
The United States had earlier warned that Iran could launch
a major attack on Israel with more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles aimed
at military targets inside the country.
The US State Department has issued a travel advisory to
Americans in Israel not to move outside major cities in order to be protected
by the Dome missile defense system.
While addressing the nation, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli
prime minister, said the country is ready for the attack and will respond
accordingly.
“Citizens of Israel,
in recent years, and even more so in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing
for the possibility of a direct attack from Iran,” Netanyahu said.
“Our defense systems are deployed, and we are prepared for
any scenario, both in defense and offense. The State of Israel is strong, the
IDF is strong, the public is strong.”
Joe Biden, president of the United States, on Friday, said
the country would defend Isreal in the event of an attack from Iran.
“We will support Israel; we will help defend Israel and Iran
will not succeed,” Biden said.
