Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesman, said it would take several hours before they reached Israel.

Tehran confirmed the action, with Iranian state TV reporting: “A significant drone operation by the IRGC against targets inside occupied territories has started.”

The announcement came shortly after Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was prepared for a ‘“direct attack from Iran”.

“Our defense systems are deployed, and we are prepared for any scenario, both in defense and offense. We will defend ourselves from any threat and we will do so calmly and with determination,” the prime minister said.
