Israel has declared a nationwide state of emergency following the county\u2019s strikes on Iran, amid fears of retaliation.<\/p>\n

The announcement came shortly after Defense Minister Israel Katz said the IDF had conducted what he called a preemptive strike against Iran, highlighting that retaliatory missile and drone attacks against the Jewish state are expected in the near future.<\/p>\n

Sirens sounded across Israel, accompanied by advance alerts sent directly to mobile devices, instructing residents to remain near protected spaces, the IDF said.<\/p>\n

New Home Front Command guidelines have been issued in Israel, banning educational activities, public gatherings and workplace attendance, with exceptions only for essential services. The military stressed that the proactive alert is intended to prepare the public for the potential launch of missiles at Israel.<\/p>\n

Early Saturday, local media cited Katz as saying the strike was intended\u00a0\u201cto remove threats against the State of Israel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
