Sirens sounded across northern Israel following the detection of an Iranian missile being launched on Sunday evening.
All projectiles were intercepted, the IDF stated. Additional waves are expected in the coming hours. No casualties have been announced at this time.
Israelis should prepare for missiles and rocket fire from Iran in the coming hours after strikes on Beirut, the IDF announced on Thursday.
Earlier Sunday, Iran threatened to do so in response to Israel’s attack on Beirut, which the IDF undertook in response to Hezbollah ignoring the US ceasefire from the first day of the month.
Israel will respond, sources told The Jerusalem Post.
It appears that Israeli officials were ready for this eventuality, but were more expecting Iran to back down, so it may still take some time to hit back, given several hours of flight time.
However, if the small number of missiles fired by the Islamic Republic is its only move, are only at the North, and there are no casualties, this could impact the Israeli response.
Israeli officials are still deciding when and how much. However, a signifcant Israeli response to Iran’s ceasefire breach is expected.
Schools were canceled across Israel preemptively due to the threat.
This is a developing story.
