 ‘We have specific targets’, Iran confirms hitting Israel


Iran has confirmed launching a drone attack on Israel, saying it has specific targets.


The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) confirmed this in a statement issued on Saturday night.


Reports estimated the drones to be between 100 and 250, saying it will take hours to reach Israel.


“Iran launched UAVs from its territory towards the territory of the state of Israel,” military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement.


“We are following the threat in the airspace. It’s a threat that will take a number of hours to arrive in Israel.”


Jordan has vowed to bring down drones that penetrates its airspace.


But Iranian Defence Minister has warned that: “Any country that opens its airspace or territory to Israel for attacking Iran will face our decisive response.”


As tension escalated on Saturday, Israel shut down schools and placed its military on high alert.


Several international entities made adjustments to regular business amid the expected Iranian attacks.


Australia’s Qantas and Germany’s Lufthansa airlines on Saturday announced they would reroute flights in the Middle East, with the German airline saying it would avoid Iranian airspace altogether until Tuesday.


Canada on Saturday warned its citizens to avoid all travel to Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, as Ottawa upgraded its risk assessment in the region.


The Netherlands announced it would keep its embassy in Tehran closed on Sunday, and would decide then whether or not to reopen on Monday.
