Israel says Iran has fired missiles and it warns residents to shelter in place
Jerusalem, Oct 1: The Israeli military said Tuesday that Iran has fired missiles and it ordered residents to remain close to bomb shelters as air raid sirens sounded across the country.
A series of window-shaking explosions were heard in Tel Aviv and near Jerusalem, though it was not immediately clear whether the sounds were from missiles landing or being intercepted by Israeli defenses, or both.
Israel and the United States have warned there would be severe consequences in the event of an attack on Israel from Iran, which backs the group Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israeli army spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the country's air defense system was fully operational, detecting and intercepting threats. “However, the defense is not hermetic,” he said.
Orders to shelter in place were sent to Israelis' mobile phones and announced on national television.
