The Israeli military has informed its citizens that retaliation from Iran is underway.

Israeli military claimed that Iran has already launched more than 100 drones toward its territory.

“All (aerial) defense arrays have been operating to intercept the threats,” IDF spokesperson Effie Defrin said.

“This is a different event to what we’ve experienced thus far, and we’re expecting difficult hours”.

Recall that Israel carried out dozens of airstrikes on Iran, declaring an emergency as it braces up for retaliation.

Israeli military said a “pre-emptive, precise, combined offensive based on high-quality intelligence” had been launched – called Operation Rising Lion.

Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, was killed the Israeli military strikes.
