The firing continues. Another volley of dozens of missiles was launched towards the State of Israel. You are asked to continue to obey the instructions of the Home Front Command and the instructions that are being distributed to you.
The explosions you hear come from interceptions or crashes.
The air defense system constantly identifies and intercepts threats. IDF spokesman:
A short time ago, alerts were activated in several areas of the country following the discovery of missiles launched from Iran into the territory of the State of Israel.
The public is asked to obey the Home Front Command's instructions.
At this time, the Air Force is working to intercept and attack wherever necessary to eliminate the threat.
The defense is not hermetic, and therefore the Home Front Command's instructions must continue to be followed.
