STORYLINE:
Sirens were heard in Haifa on Saturday as Israel's air defenses were in action over the northern port city.

Explosions were also heard as the country worked to intercept incoming Iranian missiles.

The Israeli military’s Home Front Command imposed nationwide restrictions as Israel and the US launched an attack Saturday on Iran, with the first apparent strike happening near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The army said the new guidelines, effective immediately, include a ban on gatherings and on all educational and work activities, except for essential work sectors.

Israel said the attack on Iran was carried out as a “broad, coordinated, and joint operation against the regime” that has been planned for months between the Israeli and US militaries.
