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.
Earlier Sunday, Iran threatened to do so in response to the Beirut strike, 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. Israeli officials are still deciding when and how much. However, a significant Israeli response to Iran’s ceasefire breach is expected.
It appears that Israeli officials were prepared for this eventuality but expected Iran to back down, so it may still take some time to hit back, given the 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.
Schools were canceled across Israel preemptively due to the threat.
This is a developing story.
