Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:30 Air attack by Iran on the night of April 14 is a “declaration of war” on Israel. This was stated by the country's President Isaac Herzog. He noted that Israel is now “considering all options” for responding to the attack, but is not looking for war. According to him, the Iranian attack was another example of how Tehran is spreading chaos, terror and instability throughout the world.
| It should be noted that in Israel the president is really nothing more than an elected constitutional monarch. All the power resides with the prime minister, so President Herzog ought to be voicing Bibi’s decisions here, not his own. But given that the Biden administration, among others, is being pissy about Prime Minister Netanyahu, it makes sense that the president was tapped to speak out. |
13:44 In Iran, two capital airports in Tehran, as well as in cities in the west of the country, stopped operating. The pause in their work will last until 6:00 on Monday, April 15, the ISNA agency reported.
12:12 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and Western politicians strongly condemned Iran's massive attack against Israel. They are unanimous that Iran's actions are completely unacceptable and pose the risk of an unprecedented further escalation of the situation in the Middle East.
10:54 Iran’s massive strike on Israel was allegedly “successful” and led to the fulfillment of the goals set by the Iranian command. This statement was made by the Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, IRNA reports. According to him, the strike was concentrated on a “major information center”, as well as on the Nevatim air base, where F-35 aircraft are based. “Both of these centers were largely destroyed and became inactive,” says Bagheri.
| It sure looks that way if you mistake a real fire in Chile for an imaginary one in Israel. That’s as bad as posting tweets from wargames based in imaginary Chernarus with the claim that they were taken in Ukraine. |
10:22 The US military intercepted dozens of missiles and drones attacking Israel from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. This statement was made by Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin. He called on Iran to immediately stop further attacks, including by its proxy forces, and reduce tensions.
10:00 The Israel Airports Authority announced the opening of Israeli airspace from 7:30 a.m. the week after the Iranian attack. However, the flight schedule at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv may change. Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon also opened their airspace.
09:00 On the night of the week, Iran fired about 300 drones and a missile at Israel. 99% of them were intercepted. This was announced by the official representative of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari.
According to him, Iran launched 170 drones into Israel, and none of them invaded Israeli airspace. Iran also fired 30 cruise missiles, 25 of which were shot down by the Israeli Air Force. In addition, Iran fired 120 ballistic missiles. Some missiles managed to penetrate Israeli defenses and hit the Nevatim airbase in southern Israel. Its infrastructure suffered minor damage, but "capabilities were not blunted."
08:08 US President Joe Biden had a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House press service reported. The American leader announced a meeting of G7 leaders "to coordinate a common diplomatic response to Iran's brazen attack."
05:15 The US Congress will consider a bill to support Israel next week. This was announced by Republican Majority Leader in the House of Representatives Steve Scalise. Perhaps this will be the same bill that also provides for $60 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. Scalise said "additional information... will be provided."
03:05 As a result of Iran's night attack on Israel, 99% of Iranian drones were shot down. This was reported by the Ynet portal with reference to anonymous Israeli officials. They also promised a "strong response to Iran" soon.
At the same time, the Times of Israel, citing a representative of the Israeli defense department, reported that more than a hundred Iranian UAVs were intercepted by the US and British military outside Israeli airspace.
