ADVERTISEMENTThe Israeli Defence Forces said “dozens” of Iranian missiles were launched into Israel in a second wave of strikes in the early hours of Saturday.
Sirens and the boom of explosions, possible from Israeli interceptors, could be heard in the sky over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
The IDF said “some of the missiles were intercepted,” adding that “Search and Rescue forces are currently operating in a number of locations across the country in which reports of fallen projectiles were received.”
Israeli newspaper Haaretz wrote that direct hits were reported in central Israel, wounding five people. It said several buildings were hit by Iranian missiles.
The Israeli military urged civilians to head to shelter amid the fresh wave of missiles, but have since permitted them to leave again.
