British Foreign Secretary David Cameron spoke to the BBC on Monday about the United Kingdom. It means that the US doesn’t want to attack back, and France is going to try to stop Israel from making things worse.
Iran attacked Israel on Saturday, less than two weeks after Israel’s suspected attack in Syria that killed two Iranian generals. This was the first time Iran has directly attacked Israel, even though the two countries have been enemies since 1979.
According to an Israeli military spokesperson, almost all of the drones and missiles sent by Iran were stopped.
Israel and Iran have been heading towards a conflict while Israel has been fighting against Hamas in Gaza for six months. The fighting began when two aggressive groups, supported by Iran, attacked across the border. A bomb killed 1,200 people in Israel and kidnapped 250 others.
The attack by Israel in Gaza has caused a lot of damage and resulted in the death of over 33,700 people, as reported by local health officials.
