The U.S. Department of Defense declined to comment on the President’s notice.
“We just have information that they were planning something and it’s very good information.” the President told reporters of the announcement during Wednesday’s briefing on the coronavirus, “It was led by Iran, not necessarily Iran, but groups supported by Iran, that to me is Iran. We’re just saying ‘don’t do it, don’t do it.'”
Trump added, “It would be a very bad thing for them if they did it.”

Hamas rejected another temporary cease-fire proposal after negotiations began in Cairo, Egypt last weekend between U.S., Qatari, and Egyptian officials. The cease-fire proposal would have seen Israel exchange hundreds of Gazan prisoners for dozens of the hostages held in captivity by Hamas.
As for injuries, a seven-year-old girl suffered severe injuries from shrapnel that fell directly onto her home. She was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery for a head wound. An estimated 31 people in total were treated for stress and minor injuries.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Hagari: More than 200 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles were fired from Iran. Most of the threats were intercepted outside Israeli airspace. A very small number of missiles hit Israeli territory with minor damages to a military base in…
