The Israeli army has warned Iranians in or near military infrastructure across Iran to evacuate, after announcing it was conducting a “broad strike” on multiple military targets, AFP reports.

“To all individuals who are inside or in the vicinity of military weapons production factories and military infrastructure facilities across Iran: You are located near weapons and military facilities that are considered dangerous,” the army said on its Farsi X account.

“For your safety and well-being, we urge you to immediately evacuate these areas and remain outside of them until further notice. Your presence in these locations puts your lives at risk,” it added.
