Tonight, Hezbollah launched over a hundred rockets across the border into northern Israel. This is the largest barrage that we have seen since they got involved in the war. I just spoke with a senior IDF official who says the Israelis, following this rocket fire, are now striking Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.
The Ministers strongly condemned the unjustifiable Iranian attacks against the GCC countries which threaten regional and global security and called on Iran to cease immediately its attacks, they said in a joint EU-GCC statement. The statement also reaffirmed that Gulf countries have the right to take all necessary measures to defend their security and stability and protect their territories, citizens and residents.
The U.S. and Israel conducted attacks on Iran early Saturday after weeks of negotiations and the biggest military build-up since the war in Iraq. The airstrikes follow the 12 Day War last June, when the U.S. joined Israel's air campaign to target Tehran's nuclear facilities. While President Donald Trump had reportedly considered limited attacks on the regime, sources told CNN that the U.S. involvement was "not a small strike."
