Iran’s Revolutionary Guards confirmed that a drone and missile attack was under way against Israel in retaliation for a deadly 1 April drone strike on its Damascus consulate, with the US pledging to back Israel.
Israel’s military said more than 100 drones, which Iraqi security sources said were seen flying over the country from Iran, would take hours to reach their targets.
Israeli Channel 12 said some had been shot down over Syria or Jordan.
“In response to the numerous crimes committed by the Zionist regime, including the attack on the consular section… the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired dozens of missiles and drones at specific targets inside the occupied territories (Israel),” state television quoted a Guards statement as saying.
