Israeli military announced that Iran had launched missiles targeting Israel on Tuesday, October 10. As a result, air raid sirens rang out across the country, and residents were told to stay close to bomb shelters. The Israeli government issued warnings to the public through mobile phones and national television, with sirens reported in both Jerusalem and central Israel.
This missile strike follows a day of tension involving rocket and missile attacks from Lebanon, as well as Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire targeted villages in southern Lebanon, prompting Hezbollah militants to fire rockets back into Israel. So far, there has been no immediate report on casualties, but the fighting has raised fears of a wider regional conflict.
