Iran fires 7th missile salvo of D36 — targets Jerusalem area, no early warning initially issued

Iran launched its seventh ballistic missile salvo of April 4 targeting the Jerusalem area and areas near the Dead Sea. No early warning was initially issued by the Home Front Command, before sirens sounded in the Jerusalem area and parts of southern Israel as additional launches from Iran were detected. The IDF stated one missile was 'allowed to strike an open area, according to protocol' — standard procedure when a missile cannot be intercepted over populated areas. Other missiles were engaged by air defences; interception results were still under review. No injuries were reported. Targeting Jerusalem — including its proximity to religious and political sites — represents a significant escalation in Iranian aim points. The absence of early warning points to a faster missile trajectory or radar detection gap. This is the 7th distinct Iranian attack of the day.
