Israel begins preemptive strike against Iran, defense minister says; sirens wail across Israel

Defense Minister Israel Katz says he has declared an emergency situation across the country due to Israel’s action in Iran.

“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 says.

He says he has signed “a special order, according to which a special state of emergency will be imposed in the home front throughout the entire State of Israel.”

“You must obey the instructions of the Home Front Command and the authorities and remain in the protected areas,” Katz adds.

Sirens have just wailed across Israel.
