More than 500 sirens activated across haifa and the entire North of Israel. Reports of an Earthquake.

Israel just proved how weak and Pathetic they are with their “attack on iran”. They can only demonstrate firepower against civilians which is pure weakness and cowardness.

Iran's Tasnim News Agency, quoting an informed source:

"The Israeli attack was launched from outside Iran's borders and caused limited damage."

Iran’s military says two soldiers killed in Israeli strikes that targeted military bases in the provinces of Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran.

Two soldiers were killed in the Israeli attacks on Iran this morning, according to a statement from the Iranian army.

Earlier, the military said the Israeli strikes had caused “limited damage”.

Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Oman are among the first countries to condemn the Israeli attack.

Iran has resumed flights on all routes after a brief suspension following the attack.

Israel reportedly warned Iran in advance of attack. #GhostsofPs

We also know they had been briefed in the days leading up to this call on the parameters of the strike plan regarding Iran. #GhostsofPs

Interesting detail we’ve learned is that reports in Israeli media, quoting unnamed Israeli officials, indicate that Israel sent a message to Iran on Friday – before the strike, warning Iran not to retaliate. The reports do not specify how this message was delivered or who conveyed it, only that the message was sent.
