Alerts have gone off in northern and central Israel, after Israel’s military announced a new wave of incoming Iranian missiles.
The Times of Israel reported sirens in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and throughout central Israel. Israel’s Arutz Sheva media also reported sirens in Israel’s northern Galilee region.
In a statement, Israel’s military says it identified a new barrage of missiles fired by Iran towards Israel.
“Defence systems are operating to intercept the threat,” it said.
“In the last few minutes the Home Front Command has issued an advance alert directly to mobile phones in the relevant areas.”
