Israelis have stocked up not knowing what their government is planning and how this will unfold. Israel’s sudden attack on Iran that began at 3 a.m. on June 13, Friday, didn’t catch only the Iranians by surprise.

Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, killing at least five people, while Israel claimed in the fourth day of the conflict that it had now achieved “aerial superiority” over Tehran and could fly over the Iranian capital with impunity.

The attack comes after decades of mutual hostility and a long-running shadow war of covert strikes and sabotage.
