More than 200 explosive drones were launched by Iran, while 10 cruise missiles were intercepted outside Israel's borders, according to the IDF.

Iran has launched an unprecedented drone and missile barrage against Israel - an attack Tehran has labelled as a retaliatory strike. The move could trigger a major escalation between the countries as tensions in the Middle East remain inflamed over the war in Gaza. Here's everything we know so far: Why has Iran launched an attack? Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it was responding to an 'attack on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus' on 1 April.

In a statement following the meeting, Mr Biden reaffirmed the US's 'ironclad' commitment to 'Israel's security against threats from Iran and its proxies'. Early on Sunday morning, a senior Israeli source told Channel 12 TV that the country was planning a 'significant response' to the Iranian drone salvo.
