SRINAGAR: Air raid sirens sounded across all areas of Israel early on Saturday, the Israeli Home Front Command said, signalling a nationwide security alert.
Reuters, citing Israel’s Ministry of Defense, reported that Israel had launched what it described as a pre-emptive strike on Iran.
Israel’s defence minister later confirmed the development, stating: “We have begun a pre-emptive strike against Iran.”
Further details on the scale, targets and impact of the operation were not immediately available.
