Air raid sirens blared throughout Israel, and explosions were reported in Jerusalem and the Jordan River valley as residents rushed into bomb shelters. During live broadcasts, reporters on state television took cover on the ground.

Reuters journalists observed missiles being intercepted in the airspace over neighbouring Jordan. Media reports said that as many as 100 missiles had been fired.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have stated that the missile strikes that targeted Israel are a retaliation for the recent killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, as well as Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh earlier this year.
