Loud explosions were reported across Gulf cities, including Dubai, Doha, and Manama, on Monday, as Iran resumed attacks on its Gulf neighbours in response to US-Israeli air raids.
Witnesses reported hearing multiple blasts in the hearts of Doha and Manama, and throughout parts of the United Arab Emirates, sending waves of shock through city streets.
Meanwhile,
Loud explosions were reported above Jerusalem after the Israeli military said it had “identified missiles launched from Iran,” triggering air raid sirens across the city and parts of central Israel.
According to the Israel Defence Forces, the nation’s air defence systems were activated to intercept the incoming missiles and strike any threats as needed to protect civilians.
There were no immediate reports of direct impacts or casualties, and it remained unclear whether the explosions were caused by interceptions of the incoming projectiles.
