Israel's Iron Dome air defense system was activated in Jerusalem to intercept drones and missiles from Iran on the evening of April 13.

Iran's Fars news agency also reported that a loud explosion was heard at an airport in the Iranian city of Isafahan, but the cause was not immediately clear. Several flights have been diverted from Iranian airspace.

The attack came five days after Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles in retaliation for an airstrike on its embassy in Syria on April 1, which Tehran blamed on Israel. Most of the drones and missiles were shot down before they reached Israeli territory. Iran said its attack was within the framework of international law, citing Article 51 of the UN Charter.

The international community is currently continuously calling on all parties to exercise restraint and avoid escalating tensions in the region.
