Iran launches ballistic missile salvos at Israel — sirens across country
·Israel (nationwide)
IRGC fired approximately 40 missiles at US and Israeli targets. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Wide salvos complicated Israeli air defence efforts. Shrapnel fell near Beit Shemesh.
The IRGC said it fired about 40 missiles at US and Israeli targets in the latest retaliatory wave. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel with residents rushing to shelters. The Israeli military issued alerts covering Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and other areas, with defence systems working to intercept. Al Jazeera reported 'very loud explosions' heard from Ramallah. The salvo appeared to be wide, complicating Israeli air defence efforts. Shrapnel from interceptions fell in the area of Beit Shemesh, the city near Jerusalem where a missile killed nine Israelis two days earlier. Magen David Adom (Israel's emergency medical service) reported no new casualties. An earlier missile launch from Iran was also reported several hours prior.
