US has warned Iran not to strike US targets in retaliation. 

Israel saying this will be a multi-wave multi-day attack, targeting nuclear sites.

Reports that a key Iranian General was killed tonight, but unconfirmed. 

>>Update<<

Israel now saying the entire Generals Staff of the Iranian Military was killed along with the majority of their nuclear scientists.

Reports of explosions across Iran, evidently as a result of Israeli attacks.

In related news, just heard yesterday that several family members in US Embassies in the ME, had been sent home this week.

Yup. Everyone knew something was about to happen, just not what and where for certain.

Wow, double wow, and super wow. 

Some info coming out about how this was carried out.

Mossad had set up a drone base in a warehouse inside of Iran and had smuggled hundreds of drones into the country. Those drones were launched last night to neutralize Iranian Air Defenses as a few hundred jets attacked from Israel. 

This operation had been ongoing for at least two years.

Again early unverified report, but this reportedly shows a missile strike to the precise location of the bedroom of a targeted individual in Iran. 

Israel saying they shot down several drones and missiles fired by Iran in retaliation. 

 

 

Tel Aviv is getting hit by a counter-strike right now.  Not many missiles are getting through but this strike is just starting.  

Iron Dome is being tested. Early reports from Israel are saying 95% of missiles and drones have been shot down. Over a hundred ballistic missiles have been launched directly from Iran to Israel. 

These missile and drone attacks I believe are the first time Iran has launched anything from their soil directly at Israel. In the past they've used proxies to do it from other countries. 

Iranian air defenses have been so neutralized that Israeli planes are flying daytime missions without fear of being shot down.

This is making me sick to my stomach.

Remember last April, Iran launched 200 to 300 drones and missiles into Israel but Israel intercepted nearly every one of them.  We chatted a bit about it in this thread.

From Wikipedia, The attack was codenamed by Iran as Operation True Promise and the strike was seen as a spillover of the Gaza war and marked Iran's first direct attack on Israel since the start of their proxy conflict.

That's right, my bad. Brain ain't as sharp as it once was.

I have watched several news sources since this started last night and the hate for Israel (and America) by the many of the "experts" giving their opinion is strong.
