On Tuesday, the Islamic Republic of Iran initiated a ballistic missile attack on Israel after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to begin a ground incursion into southern Lebanon to conduct operations against the terrorist organization Hezbollah. The Iranian attack targeted major metropolitan areas across Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
A White House spokesman said that the attack on Israel “will carry severe consequences for Iran. We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack.” The US Embassy in Israel has asked all staff and their families to shelter in place amid the attack as sirens activated across Israel.
In a notice to Americans, the embassy explained that it “reminds U.S. citizens of the continued need for caution and increased personal security awareness as security incidents, including mortar and rocket fire and unmanned aircraft system UAS intrusions, often take place without warning.”
“The security environment remains complex and can change quickly depending on the political situation and recent events,” the notice added, according to CNBC.
