Israel’s military said on Sunday it had detected two waves of missiles fired from Iran, as air raid sirens rang out in Tel Aviv and explosions rocked Jerusalem.
“A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel,” the military said in a statement.
“At this time, the (Israeli Air Force) is operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat.”
A similar statement about another wave of missiles was issued 30 minutes later, before the alert was lifted at around 8:10 am
