STORY: Wisps of smoke were seen and sirens were heard in the sky over Jerusalem on Saturday (February 28), after Israel launched strikes against Iran.

Israel’s military on Saturday said it had protectively sounded air raid sirens in areas across the country “to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward Israel” in retaliation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran launched on Saturday "will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands."
