Early Friday morning, Israel conducted numerous strikes against Iranian targets, leading to a declared state of emergency due to anticipated missile and drone retaliation. Air raid sirens were activated in Tel Aviv. Israel's Defense Minister noted the possibility of imminent attacks on civilians, claiming Iranian UAVs are being intercepted. The U.S. played no role in these strikes. The emergency measures include street lockdowns and shut businesses. Iran confirmed the deaths of high-ranking military and scientific figures, raising tensions further in the region.
Following the State of Israel's preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future, Katz said.
Iran launched approximately 100 UAVs towards Israeli territory, which we are working to intercept, IDF Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin says.
The state of emergency means nobody is allowed to be out on the streets and almost all businesses, including schools, offices and supermarkets, have also been shut.
Iran has confirmed the deaths of the top general of Iran's Revolutionary Guard as well as several top scientists, according to the general staff of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
