The response came late on Saturday when Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles towards Israel, injuring 12 people, the Israeli army said. Among the injured was a seven-year-old girl near the southern Israeli town of Arad who was in intensive care, according to the medical centre that received her.

The Iranian army declared that its attack was “completed successfully,” which it said was in “self defence” after the Damascus strike which killed seven of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards including two generals earlier this month. Hundreds of Iranians gathered in Tehran’s Palestine Square waving Iranian and Palestinian flags in a show of support for the military action.Iran’s allies in the region joined the attack, with Yemen’s Tehran-backed Huthi rebels also launching drones at Israel, according to security agency Ambrey.

Biden said he told Netanyahu during a phone call that Israel’s defence against the attack sent “a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel”. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned Iran’s “reckless” action and pledged his government would “continue to stand up for Israel’s security”.
