Israel has come under attack by more than 300 drones and missiles originating from Iran, Iraq, and Yemen. Reports indicate that the vast majority of these projectiles were successfully intercepted by Israel’s defense systems, averting widespread damage and casualties.
Iran has claimed responsibility for the coordinated assault, citing retaliation for an Israeli raid on the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1st. Iranian officials have declared the matter concluded following the retaliatory strikes.
Meanwhile, the Gaza Strip has witnessed a grim toll as Israeli airstrikes have claimed the lives of at least 19 Palestinians and left over 200 others wounded in six separate incidents. The violence continues to escalate in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli settlers have reportedly carried out attacks on Palestinian individuals and homes, resulting in at least 19 injuries.
The staggering figures reveal the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict, with data indicating that since October 7th, a total of 33,686 Palestinians have been killed and 76,309 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza. In response to Hamas’s actions, the death toll in Israel from the October 7th attacks stands at 1,139, with numerous individuals still held captive.
The situation remains highly volatile, with tensions running high and the specter of further violence looming over the region. International efforts to de-escalate the conflict and restore calm are urgently needed to prevent further loss of life and devastation.
