UPDATE:
The White House on Saturday released a written response to Iran’s attacks on Israel.
“Iran has begun an airborne attack against Israel. President Biden is being regularly updated on the situation by his national security team and will meet with them this afternoon at the White House. His team is in constant communication with Israeli officials as well as other partners and allies,” stated Adrienne Watson, the National Security Council Spokesperson. “This attack is likely to unfold over a number of hours. President Biden has been clear: our support for Israel’s security is ironclad. The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran,” she added.
Iran has launched an attack against Israel with dozens of drones, according to the Axios news site.
Drones are assessed to take several hours to cover such a distance, reported The Times of Israel.
There is no immediate statement from the IDF on the attack.
Iran has threatened to attack Israel over the killing of seven IRGC members, including two generals, in Syria’s Damascus last week

*Statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu*
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Saturday, 13 April 2024) [translated from Hebrew]:
“Citizens of Israel,
In recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran.
Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong.
We appreciate the US standing alongside Israel, as well as the support of Britain, France and many other countries.
We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat and will do so level-headedly and with determination.
Citizens of Israel, I know that you also are also level-headed. I call on you to follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command.
Together we will stand and with G-d’s help – together we will overcome all of our enemies.”
