Biden Tells Bibi: US Will Not Support A Counterattack Against Iran After Hundreds Of Drones,...
• Zero HedgeUpdate(Midnight ET): It is just after 7am Israel local time and Israel's military is reporting the Iranian attack has stopped, several hours after Iran said its 'limited' operation has "concluded" - which involved an unprecedented hundreds of suicide drones as as well as ballistic missiles sent against Israel in retaliation for the April 1st Israeli attack on Iran's embassy in Damascus. Below is the top story from English-language Times of Israel:
Hebrew media reports claim that not a single drone or cruise missile managed to infiltrate Israeli airspace.
According to the unsourced reports, most ballistic missiles were also knocked down outside of Israeli airspace.
A report in Ynet says some 20 cruise missiles were downed short of Israel's borders. The US, UK and Jordan helped take down many of the drones.
Israel is reporting very little damage inside the country (though previously admitting "minor damage" against at least one key airbase in the south).
I just met with my national security team for an update on Iran's attacks against Israel. Our commitment to Israel's security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad. pic.twitter.com/kbywnsvmAx
