The US warned of a major attack on Israel: it may happen soon

The US has warned of a possible Iranian attack on Israel by the end of the day on April 12.

This is reported by CBS News.

According to two US officials, Tehran may use more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles by the end of the day. The names of the officials are not mentioned in the mass media for unknown reasons.

Washington suggests that missiles and drones could be aimed at military targets inside Israel. In this case, Israel will have a hard time defending itself against an attack of this magnitude. The Americans believe that Iran may choose a smaller-scale attack to avoid a dramatic escalation, but it is unlikely to be avoided, the publication notes.

U.S. State Department warned Americans in Israel not to leave the country's major cities, as they are better protected. In addition, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned its citizens to refrain from traveling to Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.

Earlier, the Israeli army used a naval analog of the Iron Dome for the first time.
