JERUSALEM, April 15 (Xinhua) -- IDF Chief of Staff Halevi said on April 15 that Iran's missile and drone attacks on Israel were "unprecedented" and would be "responded." This incident has aroused widespread concern in the international community.
Halevy's remarks were made at the Nevatim Air Base in southern Israel, which was damaged by a ballistic missile launched by Iran in the early morning of the 14th. However, he did not elaborate on the specific response. This has heightened tensions and sparked speculation about what Israel might do.
The attack comes against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the region. Relations between Iran and Israel have been tense, with the two sides at odds over nuclear issues and regional influence. The attack undoubtedly further heightened tensions between the two countries.
The international community expressed grave concern over the incident and called on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from actions that could lead to a further deterioration of the situation. The United Nations and other international organizations have also called on the two sides to resolve their differences through dialogue and diplomatic channels to maintain regional peace and stability.
In the current situation, all parties should remain calm and rational and refrain from taking drastic actions. The search for a peaceful solution through diplomatic efforts and negotiations is the most preferable path. At the same time, the international community should also intensify its good offices and mediation efforts to push Iran and Israel back to the negotiating table to resolve each other's concerns through dialogue.
Regional peace and stability are related to the common interests of all countries. All parties should work together on the principle of equality, mutual benefit and win-win results to make positive contributions to the realization of regional peace and development. We hope that all parties will work together to address this challenge in a peaceful, rational and cooperative manner and ensure peace and prosperity in the region.
