📰 Initial reports that the Israeli airspace has been closed to civilian traffic.

Crisis (emergency) Command airplane is repeatedly airborne for the first time, in preparation for a mayday.

📝 I do think Israel is blowing this whole matter out of proportion, but a ballistic missile impact is a ballistic missile impact.

⚠️ The Iranian attack on Israel started with a first wave of dozens of suicide drones.

A new unprecedented chapter of history is being created tonight. A new era.

📑 US Air Force KC-135R Stratotanker (Reg: 58-0092) from Prince Sultan AFB flying over Saudi Arabia and another Stratotanker (Reg: 58-0011) from Al-Udeid AFB flying over Iraq.

They will play a vital role in shooting down the Iranian drones over Iraq and Syria before they reach the Israeli airspace.

The Iranian drones need about 7-9 hours to arrive to Israel. Airspace and flights are being delayed in many countries.

📑 White House NSC Spokesperson Adrienne Watson:

"Iran has begun an airborne attack against Israel. President Biden is being regularly updated on the situation by his national security team and will meet with them this afternoon at the White House...

"His team is in constant communication with Israeli officials as well as other partners and allies. This attack is likely to unfold over a number of hours... 

"President Biden has been clear: our support for Israel’s security is ironclad...

"The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran"

📹 Iranian media officially acknowledge the attack on Israel, stating it is carried by missiles and drones.

🚫 There are no attacks ongoing in Lebanon. No truth to any of these fake reports.

I don't believe there is even artillery attacks or any Israeli army activity over Gaza and Lebanon.

📑 Evidently there is "unease" ongoing in Lebanon in these very tense moments, which are full of uncertainty.

Reports of long lines to fill gasoline in various Lebanese villages and cities.

📑 According to Jewish media, the Israeli military has identified more than 100 drone launches from Iran.
