Syrian state television is reporting that explosions heard across the capital city, Damascus, early this morning were the result of Israeli air defences intercepting Iranian missiles over Syrian airspace.
Israel’s military said the missile launch was detected a short while ago, and air defence systems are working to intercept the incoming projectiles.
Warnings of the imminent attack have been sent to mobile phones throughout Israel, and members of the public have been told to enter protected spaces and remain there “until further notice”.

Israeli authorities said an Iranian missile attack killed a man in Tel Aviv on Friday, as Tehran pressed its retaliatory strikes across the region a month into the war.
ReplyDeleteThe Israeli military said it had “identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel” in at least five rounds in just over five hours, triggering air defense systems and warning sirens late on Friday and early Saturday.
The Israeli military said early on Saturday it had identified a launch of a missile from Yemen, the first time a missile has launched from Yemen since the war erupted.
ReplyDeleteThe launch comes hours after Iran-aligned Houthis said on Friday they were prepared to act if what the group called an escalation against Iran and the “axis of resistance” continued but did not say what form any intervention would take.
The Houthis entry to the war raises the prospects of a broader regional confrontation, particularly given the Houthis’ ability to strike targets far beyond Yemen and disrupt shipping lanes around the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea, which they had done in support of Hamas in Gaza after October 7, 2023.
ReplyDeleteIran’s allies in Lebanon and Iraq have already joined the war in the region triggered by US and Israeli strikes on Tehran four weeks ago.
