The Israeli army urged the civilians, who have already shook 20 months of the war in Gaza, which was ignited by the Hamas attack on October 7, to go to shelter for hours.
Both Israel and Iran said that their attacks will continue, which raises the possibility of another conflict in the east in the east. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that his goal is to eliminate any Iranian threat to Israel, but he also urged the Iranians to rise against their leaders. Israel will welcome the overthrow of the government even if it is not looking for it.
