The international community has expressed deep concern following Iran's unprecedented direct attack on Israeli territory, involving explosive drones and missile strikes. Tehran's aggression comes after an April 1 air raid, widely attributed to Israel, which resulted in the destruction of Iran's consulate in Syria and claimed the lives of 12 individuals, including two high-ranking Iranian generals. Israeli forces reported intercepting the "vast majority" of missiles launched from Iran before they reached Israeli borders, highlighting the intensity of the confrontation. Tensions between Israel and Iran have surged since the conclusion of Israel's six-month conflict in the Gaza Strip.
