Iran launches new round of missiles at Israel: state media
- Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat
TEHRAN: Iran launched a fresh round of missiles towards Israel, state media reported just after midnight on Saturday in Tehran, but Israeli rescue workers said there were no reported casualties following the strikes.
Israel’s military said it had identified missiles from Iran and “was operating to intercept the threat,” as air raid sirens in multiple areas sent people into shelters.
Less than 30 minutes after the launch alert, the military’s Home Front Command issued a notice allowing people to leave their shelters.
