Israeli political scientist Ori Goldberg has told the media that the Israeli government’s warning to citizens to stock up on enough essentials to last for two weeks seems to have been taken to heart, reports Al Jazeera.
“I live above a small grocery store [in Herzliya, near Tel Aviv]”, he said. “I went down there at around 10am (07:00 GMT). It was like the fall of Saigon.
“There was a line stretching out forever and only the meanest dry goods left. It’s profoundly hysterical, but at the same time, people are rallying around the flag,” he added.
Iran launched more than 100 drones towards Israel as an initial response to its strikes, but a much stronger response is expected in the coming hours.
