Israel faced more than 300 aerial threats on Saturday, including drones and missiles. Former President Donald Trump blamed Iran’s attack on Israel on the weakness of the Biden administration and promised to restore American strength if reelected. He emphasized that America stands with Israel and criticized the current administration for showing weakness.
Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Nancy Mace, expressed support for Israel and called for a strong response to the attack. President Biden reassured Israel of America’s commitment to its security and plans to coordinate with G7 leaders in response to Iran’s actions.
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations called for an emergency meeting to condemn Iran’s attack and designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. The conflict in the Middle East is just one of several global challenges facing the Biden administration, including tensions with Russia and China.
President Trump’s warnings about Iran’s nuclear program and the Biden administration’s softer stance were highlighted, with criticism of the $6 billion payment to Iran. Israel Defense Forces reported intercepting the majority of Iran’s aerial threats, calling it a significant achievement.
Multiple rockets from Iran, Yemen, and Iraq failed to cause significant damage at the Nevatim Air Force Base in Israel. The attack was intended to cripple Israel’s aerial capabilities but was unsuccessful, according to Mr. Hagari.
Despite attempts from various regions, including Lebanon, to target Israel, no rockets managed to breach Israeli territory. Dozens of rockets were launched from Lebanon towards the north, but no casualties were reported. Israeli fighter jets retaliated by targeting Hezbollah locations in Lebanon, including Radwan targets.
