Israelis in several parts of the country are being told to head to shelters.
Marco Rubio (who is on the senate intelligence committee) says that it now appears the Iranian attack is bigger than American intelligence predicted.
Things very quiet in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Calm before the storm.
The IDF says that more than 100 drones have been shot down outside Israeli airspace. This out of several hundred in total.
Iran's UN delegation says
"Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!"

Israeli air defense missiles are launching all over Israel, so the drones/missiles have arrived. One of the Israeli sites being targeted is Dimona, the Israeli nuclear weapons site.
There is some confirmation coming in that the US has downed some of the drones. Unclear if it was American ships or planes that did it, but US forces are engaged in the battle, it appears.
There's still nothing about damage in Israel. Live-cams in Tel Aviv show no explosions except for surface to air missiles hitting targets in the air.
Reports that aircraft of the Royal Jordanian Air Force have shot down more than a dozen Iranian drones over Jordan. There's video of what appear to be multiple interceptions over Amman Jordan.
Video is emerging from inside Iran showing medium range ballistic missiles launching from near Tabriz Iran, and separate video showing what appear to be the missiles passing over Iraq.
