LIVE UPDATES
Israel has reopened its airspace after being targeted by Iran with drones and missiles. Both military and commercial flights to Israel have resumed.
Israel reported that over 300 drones were launched at it from Iran, Iraq, and Yemen, but most were intercepted with the assistance of the US and UK. There have been no reported casualties thus far.
Iran stated that the attacks were in response to an April 1 attack on an Iranian consulate in Syria, which resulted in the deaths of seven Iranian officials, including two generals.
Consulates are protected under international law, and several countries, including China, Russia, and the EU condemned the attack.
Despite calls for caution from various countries, Iran vowed to retaliate. Iran followed through on its threat by launching numerous drones and missiles from its territory on Saturday. Additionally, Iran's proxies, Hizbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen, carried out drone attacks on Israel.
In response to the attacks, Israel closed its airspace, while neighboring countries Jordan and Iraq also shut down their airspace.
Iran informed the UN Security Council that it had completed its retaliatory attacks and warned Israel against further retaliation.
This announcement may have prompted Israel to reopen its airspace on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a phone conversation with US President Joe Biden following the attack.
Biden reportedly assured Israel of continued support in defense but stated that the US would not partake in any offensive actions against Iran. Despite this, hardliners in Israel have urged for strong retaliatory measures against Iran.
It remains uncertain whether Israel will carry out direct retaliatory attacks.
