The UN Security Council will meet for an emergency session on Sunday in New York, scheduled for 4 p.m. local time (2000 GMT/UTC), to discuss Iran's attack.
Malta, the current holder of the rotating presidency, announced the move following an appeal from Israel's ambassador to the UN.
"Today, Iran has launched a direct attack from within its territory of more than 200 [drones], cruise missiles and ballistic missiles towards Israel," Ambassador Gilad Erdan wrote, calling the assault a "flagrant violation of Israel's sovereignty."
He called for the Security Council to "condemn Iran for these grave violations," and to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) a terrorist organization.
