周六晚上的伊朗对以色列发动报复性打击以色列军方官员称,美国向全国目标发射了300多架无人驾驶飞机和导弹。官员们说,除了少数几个,其他都被以色列及其包括美国在内的盟友拦截了。
对以色列的袭击发生在哈马斯恐怖分子10月7日入侵该国六个多月后,此后以色列军方开始轰炸加沙地带。从数字上看,伊朗对以色列的攻击
以色列官员表示,该国的铁穹防御系统经受了伊朗周六攻击的巨大考验,拦截了300个“各种类型的威胁”中的99%。
据以色列国防军发言人丹尼尔·哈加里称,伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队在袭击中发射了170架无人机、120多枚弹道导弹和30多枚巡航导弹。
Hagari说“99%的针对以色列领土的威胁都被拦截了——这是一个非常重要的战略成就。”
哈加里说,袭击只造成一名已知的以色列人伤亡,一名7岁的女孩被一枚拦截导弹的弹片击中,严重受伤。美军摧毁80架无人机,至少6枚弹道导弹
据中央司令部周日报道,美国军队摧毁了80架无人机和至少6枚弹道导弹,这些导弹是从伊朗发射的300多枚导弹中发射的。
无人机的数量是周六晚上的更新,当时美国表示已经拦截了70架无人机。
中央司令部表示,总数包括在其发射车上的一枚弹道导弹和离开地面前的七架无人机。
以色列军方向政府提交了“一系列应对方案”
以色列国防联合会发言人彼得·勒纳周一早上在特拉维夫对记者说,以色列军方官员已经提交了“一系列广泛的选择方案”来回应伊朗周六的导弹袭击。
根据勒纳的说法,以色列国防军的反应可能是“打击或不打击”,他指出,“这两者之间有许多不同的情况。”
勒纳说,以色列政府最早将于周一或未来几天“决定前进的步骤”。

当被问及伊朗“实质性”的导弹袭击被拦截且损失最小时,勒纳说,“不能因为我们成功拦截,就低估伊朗的所作所为。”
“我们不能掉以轻心,”勒纳说。
以色列重新开放学校,放宽集会限制
以色列国防军(IDF)在周六伊朗导弹袭击之前关闭学校并限制集会后,放宽了后方指挥准则。
当地时间周一凌晨,以色列国防军在一份声明中表示:“决定恢复以色列各地的教育活动。据以色列后方司令部称,这些变化于午夜生效。
北部边境和加沙地带附近的社区也可以在“有限制的情况下”恢复教育活动。舒默说,国会党派领导人就援助以色列和乌克兰达成“共识”
参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默表示,在乔·拜登总统和国会领导人周日的通话中,双方达成了“共识”,即国会需要迅速采取行动,向以色列和乌克兰提供援助。
舒默在纽约的一次新闻发布会上表示,“希望”在未来一周能够达成一些协议来帮助两国。
周日早些时候,拜登与参议院多数党领袖舒默、众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊、众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯和参议院少数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔进行了交谈。
舒默表示,向以色列和乌克兰提供援助的最佳方式是众议院接受并通过参议院批准的国家安全补充法案,其中包括对这两个国家的援助。这参议院通过了950亿美元的一揽子计划在2月份通过,但约翰逊还没有将其提交议会投票。
“帮助以色列重建反导和反无人机能力的最佳方式是立即通过补充协议。正如我所说的那样,以色列在自卫方面花费了大约10亿美元,安全补充条款将补充箭形导弹、大卫投石索和铁穹中的反导弹和反无人机防御系统。
众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯周六在一份声明中表示,众议院将在本周改变立法日程,以“考虑支持我们的盟友以色列并追究伊朗及其恐怖分子代理人责任的立法”,但目前尚不清楚会是什么立法,也不清楚它可能会在多大程度上偏离参议院通过的法案。
Israel-Gaza live updates: WH says it's up to Israel how to respond to Iran's attack
Iran on Saturday nightunleashed a retaliatory strike against Israel, sending a volley of more than 300 uncrewed drones and missiles toward targets throughout the country, Israeli military officials said. All but a few were intercepted by Israel and its allies, including the United States, officials said.
The attack on Israel came more than six months after Hamas terrorists invaded the country on Oct. 7, after which the Israeli military began its bombardment of the Gaza Strip.Iran's attack on Israel, by the numbers
Israeli officials said the country'sIron Dome defense systemendured a big test from Iran's attack on Saturday, intercepting 99% of the 300 "threats of various types" thrown at it.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari, launched 170 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more than 120 ballistic missiles and more than 30 cruise missiles in the attack.
Hagari said "99% of the threats launched towards Israeli territory were intercepted -- a very significant strategic achievement."
Hagari said the attack resulted in only one known Israeli casualty, a 7-year-old girl who was severely injured when she was struck by shrapnel apparently from an intercepted missile.US forces destroy 80 drones, at least 6 ballistic missiles
U.S. military forces destroyed 80 drones and at least six ballistic missiles out of the more than 300 launched from Iran, according to CENTCOM Sunday.
The drone number is an update from Saturday evening, when the U.S. said it had intercepted 70 drones.
CENTCOM said the total included a ballistic missile that was on its launcher vehicle and seven drones before they left the ground.Israeli military submitted a 'spectrum of response options' to the government
Israeli military officials have submitted "a wide range of options" to respond to Iran’s missile strike Saturday, Israeli Defense Federation (IDF) spokesperson Peter Lerner told reporters early Monday morning in Tel Aviv.
The IDF’s response could be "strike or no strike," according to Lerner, who noted, there are "a lot of different scenarios in between those two."
The Israeli government will "decide on the steps forward" as early as Monday or within the coming days, Lerner said.

When asked about Iran’s "substantial" missile strike being intercepted with minimal damage, Lerner said, "Just because we were successful in intercepting, we shouldn't underestimate what Iran did."
"We can't take that lightly," Lerner said.
Israel reopens schools, relaxes restrictions on gatherings
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has eased homefront command guidelines after closing schools and limiting gatherings ahead of Iran’s missile strike Saturday.
"It was decided to restore educational activities across Israel," the IDF said in a statement early Monday, local time. The changes went into effect at midnight, according to Israel's Home Front Command.
Communities near the northern border and the Gaza Strip can also resume educational activities "in subject with restrictions."Congressional party leaders reach 'consensus' on aid to Israel and Ukraine, Schumer says
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that during a Sunday call between President Joe Biden and congressional leaders there was "consensus" that Congress needs to act quickly to send aid to both Israel and Ukraine.
Schumer said at a news conference in New York that "hopefully" something can be accomplished this coming week to aid both countries.
Earlier Sunday, Biden spoke to Senate Majority Leader Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Schumer said the best way to send aid to Israel and Ukraine is for the House to take up and pass the Senate-approved national security supplemental that includes aid to both countries. TheSenate passedthe $95 billion package in February, but Johnson has not brought it to the floor for a vote.
"The best way to help Israel rebuild its anti-missile and anti-drone capacity is by passing that supplemental immediately. As I said, Israel expended about over a billion dollars in defending itself and the security supplemental would replenish the kind of anti-missile and anti-drone defenses that are in the Arrow, in the David's Sling, and in the Iron Dome," Schumer said.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a statement Saturday that the House would change its legislative schedule this week to "consider legislation that supports our ally Israel and holds Iran and its terrorist proxies accountable," but it's not yet clear what legislation that will be, or how drastically it might depart from the Senate-passed bill.
