Air raid sirens blared across large parts of Israel at approximately 5 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET) today as Iran launched another missile attack on the country.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly announced via X (formerly Twitter), “Iran is attacking again,” confirming the renewed escalation of hostilities.

In a follow-up statement, the IDF revealed that Iran fired multiple missiles at Israeli territory over the past hour. The military assured the public that the majority of these missiles were successfully intercepted by Israel’s advanced defense systems, minimizing damage and casualties.

Within an hour of the attack, the Israeli Home Front Command issued an all-clear, informing citizens that it was safe to exit shelters and resume normal activities.

Ongoing Tensions

The incident underscores the growing tensions between Iran and Israel, as regional security dynamics continue to evolve. The swift response of Israel’s defense infrastructure demonstrates the nation’s readiness in the face of external threats.

Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and further updates are expected as assessments continue.
