Millions of Israelis are taking cover as air raid sirens sound across the country following a coordinated wave of missile and drone attacks from Iran and Yemen, according to the Israeli military. Twelve people were injured.
Sirens were activated in multiple areas, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Rishon LeZion, Lod, Ramla, Holon, Bnei Brak, and Herzliya, as well as dozens of smaller towns and industrial zones from the north to central regions.
Iran’s state news agency IRNA confirmed that Tehran launched a fresh barrage targeting Israel. Israeli media also report that missiles were fired from Yemen around the same time, striking amid Iran’s assault on the country.
At least three rockets are reported to have struck Tel Aviv amid ongoing Iranian missile attacks on Israel. Local sources say one of the strikes has been confirmed through video footage. Israeli authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the extent of damage or casualties.
Israeli media now report multiple missile impacts following the latest round of Iranian strikes. Israeli police say they have received reports of rockets and shrapnel falling in a community in the Tel Aviv area, causing damage but no injuries.
Israeli air defenses are intercepting incoming projectiles, while authorities urge residents to stay in shelters amid rising fears of a broader regional conflict.
