Israel’s President Isaac Herzog says his nation isn’t “seeking war” with Iran following the Islamic Republic’s recent attack. But the barrage of missiles fired at them requires some kind of response.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its proxies claim to have fired over 300 rockets and drones toward Israel on Saturday in retaliation for an April 1 attack on its nondescript consular annex building in Damascus that adjoined Iran’s Embassy on the left. On the other side of the building was the Canadian Embassy, which also sustained some damage to its windows, according to Canadian reports.
