💠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.
Personally I subscribe to the theory that Iran hitting Cyprus to provoke military response from Greece, which would trigger Türkiye to turn aggressive like the last time Greece sent theor military to Cypress.
It's also why I think Iran has largely ignored Azerbaijan, as to not bring Türkiye into the conflict, instead using existing NATO disputes against them.
