Israel celebrated on Sunday the effectiveness of its anti-aircraft defenses against an unprecedented Iranian attack, stating that with the help of its allies, it had intercepted 99% of the more than 300 drones and missiles launched towards its territory. However, regional tensions remained high amid fears of a further escalation in the event of a possible Israeli counterattack. This was Iran's first direct military aggression against Israel, in response to a widely attributed attack by Israel on an Iranian consular building in Syria this month, which killed two Iranian generals. Israel and Iran have been on a collision course during the six months of Israel's war against Hamas militants. The war in Gaza erupted following the October 7 attack in which Hamas and Islamic Jihad, both with Iranian support, killed 1,200 people in Israel and abducted another 250. The Israeli offensive in Gaza has killed over 33
Israel celebró el domingo la eficacia de sus defensas antiaéreas ante un ataque iraní sin precedentes y dijo que había interceptado con ayuda de sus aliados el 99% de los más de 300 drones y misiles lanzados hacia su territorio. Pero las tensiones regionales seguían siendo altas, en medio de temores a una escalada mayor en caso de un posible contraataque israelí. Fue la primera agresión militar directa de Irán contra Israel.
íderes del Grupo de los Siete emitieron un comunicado el domingo “condenando inequívocamente y en los términos más duros el ataque directo y sin precedentes de Irán contra Israel”. El comunicado se publicó después de que los líderes de los países más industrializados, que incluye a Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Francia, se reunieran en una videoconferencia organizada por la presidencia italiana.
Ucrania – El presidente ucraniano Volodymyr Zelenskyy condenó el ataque de Irán a Israel, estableciendo paralelismos con la guerra en su país, donde Rusia también ha utilizado drones fabricados en Irán. “Nosotros en Ucrania conocemos muy bien el horror de ataques similares por parte de Rusia, que utiliza los mismos drones Shahed y misiles rusos, las mismas tácticas de ataques aéreos masivos”, indicó.
La ministra de Asuntos Exteriores de Alemania, Annalena Baerbock, dijo que el ataque iraní a Israel llevó a la región “al borde del abismo”. “Hago un llamado a todos los actores de la región a actuar con prudencia. Es necesario romper la espiral de escalada”, declaró Baerbock. Por su parte, el canciller alemán Olaf Scholz se reunirá el martes con el presidente chino Xi Jinping y el primer ministro Li Qiang.
