Iran’s attack on Israel is highlighted in the international press, with hundreds of drones and ballistic and cruise missiles. According to the Observer, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed the launch of drones against Israel and assured that it was retaliation after the recent Israeli attack that destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria. The attack was coordinated by the leadership of the Iranian armed forces, following orders from the Supreme National Security Council. The Observer says that the Israelis, with the help of the Americans in the region, intercepted some drones in Syrian airspace. Drones entered Israeli airspace at around 2am (one hour in Maputo) and were directed towards several regions of the country, including Jerusalem. Israel’s air defense system managed to intercept almost all of the devices. However, a 10-year-old child was injured and in “serious condition” after being hit by debris from a missile intercepted by air defense. For Hamas, which according to Observer reacted through a statement, cited by Reuters, the group Islamist who has been at war against Israel since October 2023 defended that the Iranian attack is a “natural right” and a “deserved response”. Hamas argues that the Israeli attack against the “Iranian consulate in Damascus” and the “murder of several leaders of the Revolutionary Guard” led to this response from Iran. China expressed itself “deeply concerned” about Iran’s attack on Israel. In a statement from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cited by Reuters, says Observer, Beijing called on the “parties” in conflict to “maintain calm” and “avoid escalation””China calls on the international community, especially influential countries, to play a role in maintaining regional peace and stability”, the statement reads. In Iran, on the streets of Tehran and in Parliament, the attack against Israel was celebrated. There was a party atmosphere on the streets of Tehran during the early hours of the morning.
