Iran launched over 300 missiles and drones towards Israel on Saturday in response to a deadly April 1 air strike on Iran's consulate building in Damascus, which Israel was widely blamed for.

The attack injured 12 people in Israel, but most of the Iranian projectiles were intercepted by Israel, the US, Jordan, and Britain.

Iran claimed the attack was in retaliation for the April 1 strike that killed seven Iranian Revolutionary Guards, including two senior generals.

Both sides are being urged to de-escalate the situation.

The text reports on heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with the US warning Israel against launching a counterstrike following an unprecedented exchange between the two countries.

This comes amidst Israel's six-month-long conflict with Hamas in Gaza, which began after a militant attack that resulted in over 1,100 deaths.

The US has stated it will not support any Israeli counterattack on Iran, and President Biden urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to carefully consider any escalation, raising concerns of a broader conflict involving Israel.
