Iran launched a new barrage of missile strikes against Israeli targets on Monday, according to a report by state media.
“The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a fresh wave of missile strikes—the eighth since Friday—against the occupied territories (Israel),” state-run Press TV said.
Israeli Channel 12 said air raid sirens sounded in the Haifa, Krayot, Galilee, and Lower Galilee regions.
A few missiles were identified after a barrage of missiles was launched from Iran toward northern Israel, where interceptions were heard, Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.
Israeli Army Radio reported that three ballistic missiles were launched from Iran, one of them was intercepted, and two fell in open areas to the north.
The Israeli army said sirens sounded in several areas in northern Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran.
It asked the public “to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.”
Later, the army said after the situational assessment, the Home Front Command asked people that they are "now permitted to leave protected spaces.”
No casualties have been reported as of yet.
Regional tensions have escalated since Friday, when Israel launched coordinated airstrikes on multiple sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
Israeli authorities said that at least 24 people have been killed and hundreds injured in Iranian missile attacks since Friday.
