The New York Times, citing senior Israeli security officials: Israel is behind the attack on #Iran at dawn today
NBC reported, quoting an informed source, that America was not involved in Israel's attack on Iran, but Israeli officials had already informed the United States about this.
There’s a high threat of military reprisals & terrorist attacks against Israel & Israeli interests across the region. The security situation could deteriorate quickly. We urge Australians in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories to depart if it's safe to do so. (1/3)
Military attacks may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations & diversions & other travel disruptions. Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport may pause operations due to heightened security concerns at any time, & at short notice. (2/3)

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has released a Travel Alert for Israel just now urging its Citizens to Immediately Depart from the Country, with them stating that there is a “High Risk of Military Reprisals and Terrorist Attacks against Israel and Israeli Interests across the Region” and that the Security Situation could Quickly Deteriorate resulting in Airspace Closures, Flight Cancellation, and other Travel Disruptions.
The Israeli response appears to have been limited to a handful of military targets deep inside Iran.
Israel's message is clear: We are responding in a measured way, but make no mistake – we can hit you, we can hit you hard, and we can hit you anywhere. Don't test us again.
No big surprise that Iranian state media is downplaying or denying reports of the apparent Israeli attack.
That is the role of state media at times like these, at least until they get different instructions.

The attack in Iran Former MLA head Dr. Eyal Hulta explains to @Sykocan: "Undoubtedly, something has happened in the last few hours. Iran does not want to admit - either that nothing big really happened or it wants to reduce it because it does not want to react and is afraid of getting caught"

It’s gonna happen over a weekend. It’s just how things seem to go lately. They will decide tomorrow, and probably attack late Saturday EST. Assuming they even decide anything…No decision reached by the Israeli government regarding a response to the Iranian attack. War cabinet to reconvene tomorrow.
Netanyahu's meeting with opposition leaders (scheduled for this evening) was also canceled.
