Interception of Iranian missiles over Israel

In response to the American operation targeting Tehran and known Iranian nuclear sites, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) detected the launch of ballistic missiles aimed at the northern part of the country – Galilee, the Golan Heights, and adjacent areas. According to reports from Israeli sources in the north, air raid sirens sounded, prompting residents to take shelter during the missile attack. Israel confirmed that it intercepted some of the incoming missiles but did not provide details regarding the number or exact trajectories.

The incident occurred amid heightened tensions related to Iran's recent actions in response to Western military measures, including confrontations with Israeli and American forces conducted in Tehran.
