Israel says it has intercepted the vast majority of more than 300 drones and missiles launched by Iran with the help of its allies. Some of the strikes are believed to have come from Iraq and Yemen. Following Iran's attack, US President Biden has said he will call a meeting of G7 leaders to "co-ordinate a united diplomatic response".
