As Iran launches dozens of drones and missiles at Israel, Australia has condemned the attack and urged the Middle Eastern nation not to exacerbate conflict.
Iran launched an unprecedented drone and missile attack on Israel, the Israeli army announced, in a major escalation of the long-running covert war between the regional foes. Iran's proxies and allies also carried out attacks on Israeli positions as sirens sounded in many places and blasts were heard in the skies above Jerusalem early Sunday.
Hundreds of Iranians gathered in Tehran's Palestine Square waving Iranian and Palestinian flags to celebrate the unprecedented military action against Israel. An Israeli army official said Iran had launched more than 200 attack drones and ballistic missiles at Israel.
