“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked “Israelis” to “stay calm and composed” ahead of an anticipated Iranian strike.

“We are continuing forward to victory. I know that Israeli citizens are on alert, and I ask you one thing — stay calm and composed,” Netanyahu said in a visit to the Tel Hashomer army base.

“We are prepared for both defense and offense, we are striking our enemies and are also determined to defend ourselves.”

Netanyahu, along with his Wife Sara and son Yair, are planning to enter the “underground command bunker” in case the anticipated Iranian attack takes place.

According to sources close to Netanyahu cited by Hebrew media, Netanyahu and his family will enter the protected and fortified bunker complex located in the mountains of Jerusalem, which is intended for government and military officials to manage the war in cases of emergency.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has denied these reports, saying “Fake news. Never happened and never existed.”

The Shin Bet announced earlier that it is preparing the underground command bunker, known as the National Crisis Management Center (NCM)

The NCM is a secret facility in Jerusalem that cost billions and was established following the Second Lebanon War.
