Missile Sirens Sound in Jerusalem as Israel Intercepts Iranian Attacks
Air raid sirens sounded across Jerusalem and parts of central Israel on Tuesday after the Israeli military warned of incoming missiles launched from Iran, marking the 11th day of the escalating US–Israel conflict with Tehran.
In a statement, the Israeli military said its defensive systems had been activated to intercept the incoming threats, moments before explosions were heard across Jerusalem.
Emergency services respond
Israel’s national emergency service, Magen David Adom, said there were no immediate fatalities from the latest missile barrage but confirmed that several people required medical attention.
According to the agency, paramedics treated a small number of individuals injured while rushing to bomb shelters, as well as others experiencing anxiety during the attack.
Casualties mount in ongoing conflict
First responders reported that at least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured in Israel since Iran began launching missile strikes in retaliation for joint attacks by the United States and Israel.
On Monday, shrapnel from a missile strike killed one man and seriously injured another in central Israel after explosions rocked the area.
Netanyahu says offensive not over
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel’s military campaign against Iran was far from finished, despite suggestions from Donald Trump that the conflict could end soon.
“The operation is not done yet,” Netanyahu said in a statement on Tuesday, signalling that further military actions may follow as tensions continue to escalate across the region.
