IDF says missiles launched from Iran into Israel | World News

Iran has launched missiles into Israel, the Israeli military says.

More than 100 missiles were launched, according to Israeli media.

The Israeli military said all civilians were in bomb shelters as the rockets were fired.

Warning sirens sounded in Jerusalem shortly after 5.30pm UK time and explosions were heard.

Earlier today, the US warned that Iran was getting ready to launch the attack and Israelis were subsequently told to “stay close to a protected space”.

An unnamed government official told Sky’s partner network NBC News that the US was helping Israel defend itself, and warned that a direct military attack on Israel would have “severe consequences” for Iran.

The warning came as Israel’s military said its paratroopers and commandos were engaged in fighting with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants after launching “limited, localised and targeted raids” against the armed group in Lebanon.

Iran previously launched a drone and missile barrage against Israel in April, but most projectiles did not reach their targets.
