Nigeria, April 14 -- Israel has reopened its airspace following an attack by Iran using drones and missiles. Military and commercial flights to Israel have also resumed.

Israel said over 300 drones were launched at it from Iran, Iraq and Yemen but most of them were intercepted with the support of the US and UK.

Iran said the attacks were in retaliation for a 1 April attack on an Iranian consulate in Syria which killed seven Iranian officials including two generals.

Consulates are diplomatic buildings protected under international law and that attack was condemned by many countries including China, Russia and the EU.

Iran had vowed to avenge the attack despite calls for caution by several countries including the US.
