Sirens echoed across Israel—Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa—after Iran launched a wave of missiles hours following U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the incoming threat, activated air defenses, and instructed civilians to seek protected spaces until the alert was lifted about 40 minutes later . The Home Front Command closed schools, offices, and public venues, dispatching emergency responders to over 10 impact sites . This marks Iran’s first direct missile assault since U.S. military action, further escalating regional tensions and raising fears of full-blown conflict. (PC: India Today)
