In a dramatic escalation, Iran has launched missiles targeting Israel, prompting air raid sirens to blare across major cities. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the missile strikes, with warnings sounding in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as civilians rushed to take cover in bomb shelters.
Reports from Jerusalem indicate that dozens of missiles were seen streaking overhead shortly after 7:30 PM local time, with their engines clearly visible. While some interceptions were audible, many missiles continued their path toward Israel’s coastal cities.
The attack has triggered widespread alarm, with distant explosions heard throughout the region. On the edge of the Old City, residents watched in disbelief as missiles flew overhead, marking what appears to be an unprecedented assault on the nation.”
