Singapore condemns attack, expresses deep concern about Mid-East situation

In a statement, an MFA spokesperson said these "escalating attacks exacerbate tensions and further destabilise an already tense region".

This follows Iran's attack on Israeli territory late on April 13, when it launched a swarm of explosive drones and missiles.

Iran had vowed retaliation for what it called an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed 12 people, including two senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the attack.
