Air raid sirens were activated across Jerusalem and parts of central Israel on Tuesday after the Israeli military warned of incoming missiles launched from Iran, as the conflict between Iran and the US–Israel alliance entered its 11th day.
In a statement, the military said its air defence systems were deployed to intercept the missiles, while residents were advised to move to protected areas. Shortly afterward, explosions were reportedly heard in Jerusalem.
Israel’s emergency service, Magen David Adom, said there were no immediate fatalities from the latest missile attack. However, medical teams attended to several individuals who sustained injuries while rushing to shelters, as well as others experiencing shock and anxiety.
According to first responders, at least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured in Israel since Iran began launching missile strikes in retaliation for joint US-Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.
On Monday, shrapnel from one of the missiles reportedly killed a man and left another critically wounded in central Israel, after explosions rocked the area.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel’s military campaign against Iran is far from over, contradicting remarks by US President Donald Trump, who had suggested the war could end soon.
