In the early hours of Tuesday, the Israeli military detected the firing of two missiles originating from Iranian territory, aimed at Israel. The country’s air defense systems were swiftly activated to intercept the threat.

Air raid sirens were triggered across numerous regions in Israel, including major cities in the south and center such as Be’er Sheva, alerting residents to seek shelter.
According to reports, the missiles fell in uninhabited areas in Israel’s southern region. There were no direct casualties reported.
A spokesperson from Magen David Adom released a statement saying, “Following the Red Alert sirens in the past few minutes in the center and south of Israel, at this stage no reports have been received in MDA’s Emergency Dispatch Center of missile strikes or casualties, apart from a number of people who were injured on their way to a protected space.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards issued a statement taking responsibility for the missile attack, claiming it was retaliation for what they allege was the origin of a strike launched the previous evening against Iran’s national broadcasting facility in Tehran.
The Tuesday strike came shortly after a separate, less intense missile barrage targeted the northern part of Israel on Monday around 7:30 p.m.
That same day, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu conducted a visit to the Tel Nof Airbase, accompanied by Defense Minister Yisroel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.
Speaking at the base, Netanyahu outlined the objectives of Israel’s campaign, declaring, “We are on the way to achieve our two goals: eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat. When we control the skies of Tehran, we hit these targets, the enemy’s targets, in contrast to the criminal Iranian regime, which targets our civilians and comes to kill our children and women. We tell the civilians in Tehran: ‘Evacuate’ – and we are taking action.”
He continued by praising the military’s performance: “We are on our way to victory, and this is thanks to our heroic pilots. Our amazing ground crews are also doing an amazing job. I salute you, all citizens of Israel salute you, and I wish to tell you: many in the world salute you and are amazed by you.”
Netanyahu concluded with a message of perseverance and faith: “This is a basic part of the hope that we will achieve victory. Thank you, and with God’s help, we will do and succeed, and continue until victory.”
