💠Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced that the Israeli government has carried out a preemptive strike against Iran "to eliminate threats against the State of Israel."
Katz declared a special state of emergency across the country and warned that missile and drone attacks against Israel and its civilian population are expected soon.
Instructions from the Home Front Command must be followed, and people should remain in protected locations.
Yeah that alone makes me doubt the authenticity of this statement
