Iran launched a barrage of more than 400 ballistic missiles toward Israel on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after Israeli soldiers initiated a limited incursion into southern Lebanon to target Hezbollah assets.
The Israel Defense Forces announced that the missiles were launched a “short while ago” and said all Israeli civilians were waiting out the attack in bomb shelters. Sirens sounded across much of central Israel as the Iran-led attack began. No casualties were immediately reported.
Fire could be seen over the night skies of Israel as missiles exploded overhead, per on-the-ground reporters. The IDF said the explosions were either successful interceptions or missiles that evaded Israel’s air-defense system and hit open land.
