Amid escalating tension in the Middle East, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi has warned that Iran's attack on his country will be 'met with a response'.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba cited Israel's success in thwarting an Iranian missile and drone attack, crediting support from allies like the U.S. and Britain.

Iran launched hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles at Israel in the attack, most of which were downed.

The back-and-forth with Iran has offered Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu something of a diversion from the more immediate crisis at hand.

An Iranian attack on Israel over the weekend has put new momentum behind a stalled Congressional effort to pass billions of dollars in foreign aid to a pair of key U.S. allies. The drone and missile attack – retaliation for an Israeli airstrike earlier this month on the Iranian embassy in Damascus – was met with an outpouring of messages of support for Israel from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
