Iranian state TV published footage of Tehran's nighttime attack on Israel on Tuesday, showing drones being launched from an undisclosed location in Iran.

According to local media, The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)'s operation involved Shahed 131/136 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles, Emad ballistic missiles and Paveh cruise missiles, local media reported.

The airstrikes were reportedly intercepted in a joint operation by the Israeli forces, as well as the US, UK, France and Jordan.

Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards Israel on Saturday night in Tehran’s first direct attack on the Jewish state, signalling a major escalation of tensions in the region.

The attack came as a response to the alleged Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, which killed at least seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), including a senior Quds Force commander.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed Iran had launched '300 threats of various types' towards Israel, adding that '99%' of the rockets and drones had been intercepted. At the same time, defence minister Yoav Gallant reported that 'very little damage was caused' due to the attack.

IRGC Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri has warned that Tehran would launch a 'much bigger' offensive if Israel were to target Iranian soil in response to Saturday’s attack.

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said Washington had intercepted 'dozens of missiles and UAVs' before they had entered Israeli airspace. President Joe Biden reiterated his 'ironclad' support for the Jewish state and said he will convene a G7 meeting on Sunday.

Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged both sides to exercise restraint and said he was 'deeply alarmed', warning of a 'very real danger' of a 'major military confrontation' on multiple fronts in the Middle East.

Israel’s ambassador has requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting to condemn the attack and designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.
