Iran attacked Israel with a swarm of drones and missiles on Saturday.
The swarm of drones and missiles launched by Iran towards Israeli territory on Saturday are now arriving at their targets, as explosions have been reported across Israel.
Video footage shows Israeli Iron Dome and other air defense systems intercepting Iranian drones across the nation. Explosions have been reported in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa and dozens of other Israeli settlements a little under three hours after the Iranian government launched a series of Shahed suicide drones. The drones took time to reach Israel, while Iran and its proxies timed the launch of missiles with the arrival of the drones.
Drone interceptions were also reported over the Jordanian capital of Amman.
In response, the House passed a resolution to affirm US support for Israel and condemn the airstrike by Iran.
13 Democrats and 1 Republican voted against the motion.
More than a dozen House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning Iran’s airstrikes on Israel Thursday.
The resolution, which also affirms U.S. support for Israel responding to the attack however it deems necessary, overwhelmingly passed 404 to 14. Just one House Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted against the bill. Fox News Digital reached out to Massie for comment.
He was joined by 13 Democrats, including “Squad” member Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Cori Bush, D-Mo.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.; and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was also among those opposing the bill.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., the No. 3 House GOP leader, tore into the Democrats who voted against condemning Iran in a statement to Fox News Digital after the vote.
“House Democrats’ hatred for Israel runs so deep they would rather defend terrorists than support our strongest ally in the Middle East. Vote after vote, the Democrat Party continues to cement their position as the pro-terrorist party,” Emmer said.
