Israel says Iran has begun attacks

Tensions remain high in Israel with the army on high alert for an expected attack from Iran that would risk escalating the war on Gaza into a regional conflict.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is prepared for a “direct attack from Iran”.

“Our defence systems are deployed; we are prepared for any scenario, both in defence and attack,” he said in a televised statement, adding that Israel had the backing of the United States and “many” countries.
