The Middle East is on high alert as Israel launches what it calls a preemptive strike against Iran, targeting sites allegedly linked to planned attacks. Sirens blare across Israeli cities while the Home Front Command urges citizens to stay close to bomb shelters. Israel has closed its airspace, freezing all civilian flights, and passengers abroad are warned to stay updated with airlines. Security sources indicate the operation may be a joint U.S.-Israel strike, signaling escalating tensions in the region. Defence Minister Israel Katz described the action as defensive, aimed at neutralizing imminent threats. The world watches nervously as the countdown to further conflict begins.
