Iran has launched hundreds of drones, cruise and ballistic missiles. Iran says with this attack, it considers the matter concluded, and any Israeli response will be met with severe retaliation. Iran also tells the US to stay away and that if any regional nation is used to launch the Israeli response, they will be targeted, too.
Israel claims to have intercepted 99% of Iranian response, and the IDF says citizens no longer need to stay near shelters, suggesting the Iranian attack is over. They were helped by UK and US fighter jets in other countries. Israel says it will give “an unprecedented response”. Israel has told the US what their response will consist of.
UN Security Council to meet at 4 PM Eastern Time, Sunday. As of now, it seems all drones and missiles have been intercepted/hit their targets. The impact on Israel has been extremely minor, with minimal casualties and zero fatalities. A military target seems to have been hit. Now we wait for Israel's response.
Hopefully, that too is similarly limited and the situation calms down.

Per randos on Twitter, drones will reach in a few hours. It's not missiles or anything more substantial...yet (and hopefully never).
Edit - Hopefully, this is the only response. I can't stand the people cheering for this or wanting further escalation. Millions will die. I have no idea what Israel will do in retaliation for this retaliation. I don't even have any hopes they'll not respond. I just don't know.
Crazy part is wondering how history will remember this. We all see this as completly unjustified.
Honestly considering the players here, how history will remember this could very well depend on who wins in the end. As I can see the US outright doing suppression of info via jailing and executions, under thinly veiled curtains of 'national security'.
Makes you wonder how much else was repressed. We see this live so we know the truth but will people 50 Years from now see it.
50 years from now people will likely be told a heavily sanitized version of it, 100 years from now historians will maybe start finding out what we know now.
Of course this implies that there will be anyone around left that would care about history by then.
