the the, this is dw, use life from berlin, israel under direct attack by iran. the israel says around launched more than $200.00 drones and to me, so i was against it, but many have already been shot. cyrus sound nationwide with explosions heard in jerusalem. there's international condemnation of the attack. stay breaks over tel aviv. the world waits to see how israel will respond to us again. pledges are in cloud support of the united nations calls an emergency meeting of a security against the

unpopular police. welcome to the program. we begin with the aerial assault, launched by iran against israel. these ready armies has more than 200 me solves and drones were fired from around. most of them is solves, have been intercepted by israel, and the us you pay in jordan have also shut down drones. air raid sirens of signs that across israel and explosions have been heard in jerusalem. the rainy in revolutionary guards says the sold is in retaliation for an attack on his consulate in syria, which killed several generals. it's the 1st time around has launched a direct military attack on israel despite the decades of in tensile state meetings, as well as being widespread international condemnation of the uranian attack. us

presidents, joe biden, repeated america's r and todd support for israel un secretary general antonio tash criticized. a serious escalation by ron un. security council has called an emergency meeting. germany's foreign minister on elena bab bulk also condemned the attack saying it could plunge the entire region into chaos. and the british prime minister wishes to knock cool the sold reckless invite to stand up for is rate security. while these radio army has lifted its advice to people to go to air raid shelters, it says there's been little damage so far. if the shock along iran loans dozens of surface to surface missiles towards the state of israel, maybe not before the vast majority intercepting the outside, the boat is of the state of israel fluid. why our defense system is the number of missiles fairly, not tara tree shooting, but with no one guy who was injured the center straight because

a base in the south without any minus damage to the infrastructure. so all but the home, the music god, let us do a bit of a it is riley authorities have given the old clear meaning people no longer need to stay close to error rate shelters. but our correspondent i'm in ease of says it was a tens and noisy night in jerusalem. the air defense. all right, let's go to jerusalem. now, where do you to view, correspondent time you kramer is standing by for us, tanya? good to see you again. so don't has broken in israel, tell us the latest at about the situation there too low for

the moment of his quiet, but the armies those, they're still on high alerts, but it also isn't morning, you know, where this somehow is varies and also posting. and so waking up to a new reality of, to this coordinated and direct attack from yvonne to words, israel's, now it was shortly before to him. you just heard it there when ever it's are in spend off actually across the country. also here of course in jerusalem, and then we could hear some of the explosions the intersections. now the army had said over $200.00 a drones and miss saws, where it showed that most of them, according to the, is really military, were into septic together with the as they put it, strategic a partners before they reached the is where the territory bought some still made it through the defense systems here and a summer hit,

but they say there was no major damage. we don't know all the targets that where hit or where, where damage. so this is the situation right now, but of course everybody's waiting now a voice with israel do watch was the response to that, tanya prime minister, netanyahu and us president biden had a call overnight. do we have any information on what was discussed? yeah, there has been a statement given out or read out of this cold and this statement said that the us health is row actually today to take down as it's uh, a quote, nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles it also reaffirmed uh, the u. s. as iron clad as it was described, commitment to the security of it's very, it was also mentioned that no u. s. facilities or forces in the region where it targeted that is of course very

important to the united states. and also somebody said that it shows that this couldn't threaten the security of israel, that it defend itself a very well. now let us present you by and also said that he will convene the d 7, lead us to coordinate a diplomatic response. and this is somehow senior as an indication that he will try to contain this, so it doesn't spread to avoid a conflict. tanya, are there any signs that we'll see a swift retaliation from israel or? well, this is of course the question. no, we understand that it's now up to the war coming. that's a to providence opinion, minutes and you know, the defense minister to decide what the next steps would be. and it's really hard in the past weeks ever since this attack on the consulate and damascus in syria is where it didn't take responsibility. but it was widely

attributed to and it's very stripe, especially by yvonne and they had threatened to retaliate. and it's about headset if yvonne and retaliates from its source from directly and not just through its proxy, is that it will re target as well. so we have to wait and see how the coming hours will unfold. thanks tanya for bring this all the light is from israel through the night and now into the morning tanya kramer injuries laura bloom and felt is a best selling author on the middle east list in washington dc. i asked what the bible administration makes of the reigning an attack as well. i think the single word coming out of the white house, at least in relationship to the phone call with the prime minister netanyahu is the word disproportionate of the united states has acknowledged that he runs a response to israel's assassination of those iranian generals. back on april 1st

was far beyond when anybody expected israel wheel striking back. the interesting thing about natania who is attends with him not to be an eye for an eye, but 2 eyes for an eye. so i think that one thing that united states is very careful about is unclear, is to say that is all should be proportionate and it's response. they didn't coordinate that original strength on april 1st, but the united states and if nothing else, america wants to be lived in this time. all right, well the us has recently been uh that's a more critical am towards israel, yet vitamin has just restated his are in cloud support for israel. so where does this actually leave us policy that? well, it's fascinating. yes. as you say, you know, the united states and as well, we're fighting over a humanitarian aid and other foxhole buddies. i mean, united stepped in directly into the battle tonight. um, to save israel from, from those that swarm of drones and missiles. the question is,

can they use that for political leverage for diplomatic leverage down the line when they need some compromises from these really government that remains to be seen. but i think certainly they're going to be closely coordinated in their response over the next coming days. and weeks and with regard to the ron, there's no world consensus that what he rounded was unprecedented and unacceptable . and so it's very different than the humanitarian issue down in gaza. this battle for israel is the one they've actually been seeking. it's a long time coming. this confrontation with iran know, ron's representative at the united nations has told us to stay here to this so shortly. it's also in the interest of the us to avoid a regional escalation of all along they've been trying to prevent the original ex escalation. um, our national security priorities in the united states are focusing on a rising china and, and increasingly aggressive. russia opening a 3rd front with around really with the that just kind of depleted our resources

and divert them into areas that we're not interested in. that said president biden, you know, a man of few words, but many warships. he said, don't iran did. and now we do have to respond, there have to be consequences, especially in an election year where a former president, trump is going to be watching every move, every action the united states takes and will likely accuse us was us a weakness? can this escalate into a full war between israel and the rough? i don't see that happening. i think for their time yahoo, this is a legacy issue for him. he's been very focused on iran throughout his career. and you know, he, at one point he thought he might be part of that normalization deal. the saudi arabia peace between israel and sorry, randy, that would be his historic accomplishment. but now i think it's going to be just the kind of final blow to a round. i don't think that it will be a full blown war, but i do believe that she's ready to escalate just a little bit. we're going to be looking at kind of diplomatic sheets and s latoria

letters for the next coming weeks. thanks for your analysis. laura. laura boom felt the best selling author on middle east list. thank you, stan. i'm been tele. blue is a senior fellow with the foundation for the defense of democracies in washington, dc. he told me earlier, the attack by iran is on president. yes, pleasure to be with you. unprecedented in historic, you know, for almost for decades these veronica, public of iran had been fighting the shadow war with the jewish states. you know, they have been changing for over 4 decades. death, israel, they put their money where their mouth is, but now it really is indeed coming out of the shadows too quick reasons why it's unprecedented. number one, these monica blake has never fired projectiles, like a ballistic missiles, for example, from its territory publicly against is rarely territory. number 2,

in the public ballistic missile operations that the regime has been gauging in at least 11 or 12 since 2017. for example, it has never struck a defendant target, for example, all the place the run did strike with ballistic missiles, iraq, syria, pakistan's, or undefended targets against air and missile defenses. so israel, in fact, is one of the countries with the most advanced, layered aaron missile defenses making an exceptionally hard target for these missiles. which begs the question of what were the iranians hoping to achieve? was this more of a test run? was this an attempt to layer drones and ballistic missiles, lots of operational questions here. and the biggest one is indeed, how will these will respond? correct? how will israel respond? but tell me this, what did you make of the type of attack? it's given israel. plenty of time to prepare, right. or in some way, you know, the runnings for a little over a week and a half had been publicly telegraphing that there would be an operation. and the 1st

phase of the military operation that commenced was with lower and lower flying drones. some had read this as an attempt to give these release time to repair. but i actually think that would not be the case, the firing of drones 1st and marrying it with ballistic missiles later is because the flight time for some of those ballistic missiles can be as short as 8 to 12 minutes to traverse over about 1600 kilometers for the drones to avoid existing error in missile defenses. and how does the terrain they fly over it indeed might take several hours. so the pre firing and the publication of the drones, right? i don't think was an attempt to prepare israel to make this rag less successful. i think it was an attempt to pair together with a higher and classifying missile. alright. what's being said in ron? some very interesting, well you've had lots of pro, really media, semi official media and media related to the i already see caring essence,

full copy paste of these long and probably sharing guard core press statement essentially saying that yes indeed. this was a public operation. they are claiming success, they are claiming military targets was truck. so there was a fair amount of braggadocio in the running dress, leading one to believe that this read this operation as risky and bold and you know, game changing as it was. i also was intended to signal resolved to a domestic audience as much as was looking to signal resolve to a for an audience that was been on band tel avenue with the foundation for the defense of democracies speaking to me a little earlier. all right, that's all we have time for. there will be plenty of updates here on dw news at through today. you can also stay up to date on the latest, on our website, www dot. com. and you can also follow us on with our on social media. our social media handle is dw news. and for me on the team here in berlin,
