Israel has urged the U.N. Security Council to impose “all possible sanctions” on Iran after the Islamic republic launched an unprecedented large-scale drone and missile attack on Israeli territory.

Israel requested an emergency Security Council meeting on April 14 after Iran fired more than 300 projectiles at its territory on April 13. Israel said that 99 percent of them were intercepted by its air defenses and its allies.
