Iran has launched a barrage of missiles towards Israel, after warnings from Tehran that Israel must halt its ongoing assault on southern Lebanon or face more attacks. Multiple rounds of strikes targeted Israel starting at about 10pm local time (19:00 GMT) on Sunday, triggering sirens in locations across the country, the Israeli army said in a series of Telegram posts.
The army said it âintercepted all missiles from Iran thus farâ, with the Home Front Command advising residents they could leave protected spaces about an hour later. Iranâs Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed it targeted Israelâs Ramat David airbase with ballistic missiles in a statement circulated by Iranian media, calling the attack a response to âthe widespread killing and displacement of the oppressed people of the Tyre and Nabatieh regionsâ of southern Lebanon.
