Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "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. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong.
"We appreciate the U.S. standing alongside Israel, as well as the support of Britain, France and many other countries. We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat and will do so level-headedly and with determination."
A girl was injured by shrapnel from an intercepted drone in southern Israel, and the military reported minor infrastructure damage to a [Israeli military base] in southern Israel.
As part of the punishment for the Zionist entity's crime of targeting the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched drones and missiles under the operation "True Promise".
The Iranian military action was in response to the Zionist regime's aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be considered closed.
During the raid in Damascus, 12 people were killed, including two senior generals from the IRGC's elite Quds force.
The attack on the consulate has neither been confirmed nor denied by Israel.
The Russian president also warned the United States not to interfere in Iran and Israel tensions, after the United States said it shot down some Iranian drones heading towards Israel.
In case Biden supports Israel, we won't in theory sit back and do nothing, roars Putin. Iran's massive drone and missile attacks come after days of speculation that Tehran will avenge the death of IRGC commanders in an Israeli strike on Damascus.
Having fired missiles and drones at Israel, Iran's UN mission has now deemed the matter "concluded", warning of a "considerably more severe" response if the "Israeli regime makes another mistake".
