Iran has reportedly launched dozens of drones to attack Israel, after Israel announced it was closing all schools amid fears of an upcoming attack from the state.
Axios reporter Barak Ravid said that four US and Israeli officials told him about the attack, though further details were scant. Israeli media also backed up the reporting, adding that it could be hours before they reach Israel.
The IDF said that sirens will be sounded in threatened areas, warning Israelis to go to their nearest bomb shelters. It was reported today that Iran has more than 100 cruise missiles ready to be launched as part of an ‘imminent’ strike against Israel in retaliation for an airstrike against Iran’s embassy in Damascus, Syria.
Announcing the increased security measures in a televised briefing, chief military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said dozens of combat planes were airborne as part of the state of readiness.
Starting from 11pm tonight, the strict measures, which include the ban of all ‘educational activities’ across the country, the restriction of working in offices without ‘standard protected spaces’ and limits on the number of people at gatherings’, will be implemented.
Educational activities have been banned across the country, while restrictions on working have been put in place on areas directly next to the Gaza Strip, and other areas in the Gaza Envelope.
