Israel launched a preemptive strike on Iran in the early morning hours of June 13.
The attack was confirmed by Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz, who declared a state of emergency throughout the entire country.
“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,” he said.
“Therefore, and in accordance with his authority under the Civil Defense Law, Defense Minister Israel Katz has now 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.”
This action comes after the United States ordered the departure of nonessential personnel from its embassy in Iraq, and authorized the voluntary departure of nonessential personnel from U.S. embassies in Bahrain and Kuwait.
