Iran-Backed Hezbollah Fires 55 Rockets at Israel in One Hour

US President Joe Biden said in a Saturday statement that he condemns in the strongest terms possible the "unprecedented air attack against Israel's military facilities" carried out by "Iran and its proxies operating out of Yemen, Syria and Iraq."

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called Iran's attacks on Israel a "serious escalation" that can have "devastating region-wide" consequences.

“I have repeatedly stressed that neither the region nor the world can afford another war,” Guterres said in a statement.

Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari has confirmed that "a small number of Iranian missiles" have hit Israel, causing "minor damage" to a military base but no casualties.

Hagari said the "vast majority" of drones and missiles headed for Israel have been downed, either by Israelis or "partners".

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has issued a statement in support of Israel, condemning Iran's attacks “unequivocally".

"The Iranian regime’s latest actions will further destabilize the region and make lasting peace more difficult,” Trudeau said.

German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock also condemned Iran'a attacks “in the strongest possible terms."

“Iran and its proxies must stop it immediately,” Baerbock wrote in a post on X.
