From NBC News: Israel is curbing civilian movements following the U.S. strikes on Iran, ordering a halt to all but “essential activity.”
The new instructions from the Israel Defense Forces include a prohibition on civilians going to schools, public gatherings and workplaces, “except for essential sectors.”
The order took effect as of 3:45 a.m. Sunday local time.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may issue a statement on the U.S. strikes on Sunday morning, Israeli time, according to an Israeli official speaking to NBC News.
The type of bomb used for the strike has not been confirmed, but it was likely a massive ordnance penetrator, also called a “bunker buster.”
The bomb has “tens of thousands of pounds in casings that can penetrate deep below the Earth’s surface before detonating,” NBC reported.
