Iran Launches Attacks On Israel, Netanyahu Vows Reprisal (Video)

Iran has launched several drones that are now headed toward Israel and could take as much as nine hours to arrive, in an attack that could further heighten the tension in the Middle East, GWG.ng reports.

The Israeli military which has been on full alert has ordered the public not to gather in groups of more than 1,000 and it is understood that schools have been closed.

GWG.ng International Defence Correspondent reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at 9.00 pm (Abuja Time) ensconced in a meeting with his war cabinet.

The number of drones launched is yet unknown but it is expected to take a number of hours to arrive.

Jordan has also closed its air space as the prospects of war between Iran and Israel heightened. Iraq about forty minutes later also closed its airspace to all air movements.

The United States has also moved a number of military infrastructure closer to the Middle East, GWG.ng further reports.

In a broadcast minutes ago, Netanyahu replied to the attack on Israel by Iran.

“In recent years, and especially in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for a direct attack by Iran.

“Our defensive systems are deployed; we are ready for any scenario, both defensively and offensively. The State of Israel is strong. The IDF is strong. The public is strong.
