World powers urged restraint on April 14 for fear that Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone strikes on Israel could spark a wider war in the Middle East, as the United Nations heard a call for new sanctions against Tehran
This video grab from AFPTV taken on April 14, 2024 shows Israeli air defence systems intercepting projectiles amid an Iranian attack on Israel, as seen from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
“The Middle East is on the brink,” he warned. “The people of the region are confronting a real danger of a devastating full-scale conflict. Now is the time to defuse and de-escalate.” Israel and its allies intercepted the vast majority of the more than 300 incoming projectiles, the Israeli army said, reporting 12 people injured and no deaths, but the attack sharply heightened fears of an Israeli counterstrike.
“We would not be a part of any response they do,” the official told reporters on a call, speaking on condition of anonymity. “We would not envision ourselves participating in such an act.” Netanyahu on Sunday met with his war cabinet, formed at the outset of the Gaza conflict following the bloody Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.
The Israeli military said that while 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles were shot down before reaching Israel, a few of the 110 ballistic missiles did get through.
