Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the IDF halted the attack impressively. Gallant stated that the attack was successfully repelled with the assistance of the United States and other countries. He emphasized the opportunity to form a strategic alliance to counter the serious and possibly nuclear threat posed by Homeland. Israel vowed “a significant response” to Homeland’s retaliation. Hamas said that the Iranian military operation against Israel was a “natural right and a deserved response” to the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and assassination of IRGC leaders there. The Houthis said that the attacks were a legitimate response to the strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus. On 14 April, Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh stated during a cabinet meeting that any regional escalation would lead to “dangerous paths”, adding that all parties involved need to de-escalate.
