Former President Donald Trump told reporters that Israel should respond to Iran "strongly" over its retaliatory attack.

On Saturday (13 April) night, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched over 300 drones and missiles at Israel in its first-ever direct attack on Israeli territory, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. Iranian state media reported that Iran had fired at least seven hypersonic missiles at Israel, with none of them intercepted.

On Sunday, senior US administration officials said that President Joe Biden advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to think carefully and strategically about its response to Iran.

Israel's war cabinet met on Tuesday to discuss the potential retaliation. Both civilian and military officials of Israel have said earlier this week that a response will follow.
