WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS19 NEWS) -- Senator Tim Kaine woke up to the news of Israel's apparent drone attack on Iran.

The incident happened just days after Iran's unprecedented drone-and-missile assault on Israel.

Kaine, who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee, says he's relieved to hear that both Israel and Iran are seemingly downplaying what happened last night.

The incident comes after months of war between Israel and Hamas, an Iranian proxy, and possibilities of conflicts on other fronts.

"Houthis firing into the Red Sea, Hezbollah firing into Israel from Lebanon, the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza," Kaine said.

Also Friday, the House approved a procedural measure to advance foreign aid bills, with 165 Democrats joining Republicans.

"Clearly, the Democrats are helping him. The vote yesterday that set up this weekend vote needed Democratic votes on the rules committee to make it happen. Democrats supplied the votes to enable us to move forward," Kaine said.
