Israel: First came the alert message, then the boom of interceptions


About an hour after the first message, phones again vibrated with a new alert from the Home Front Command, telling people they could leave shelters and protected areas.

Following the strikes, the IDF spokesperson said there were some hits in central and southern Israel.

Videos later shared on social media showed damage from the missiles in multiple locations, including a large crater in the ground near Tel Aviv.

The Palestinian civil defence authority in the occupied West Bank city of Jericho said a man there died during the Iranian missile barrage.

According to the AFP news agency, which spoke to city governor Hussein Hamayel, the victim was killed by falling rocket debris.

Israeli officials have not reported any serious injuries as a result of Tuesday’s air attacks.

“At this stage we don’t identify more launches from Iran. Stay responsible and listen to instructions,” IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a televised address.

Israel says at least 180 missiles were fired, most of them intercepted. It has said there will be “consequences”.
