Within an hour, Iran fired five rocket volleys at Israel, according to the Iranian State Television and Radio Company (IRIB). IRIB has been reporting on the launch of missiles towards Israel since the late evening of March 19. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in turn, announced the discovery of Iranian missiles and the work of air defense.
The Times of Israel writes that the north of the country was under attack. In Haifa, the fall of a burning fragment was recorded. The publication notes that one of the ballistic missiles could carry a cluster warhead. The use of such ammunition is also reported by Iranian agencies.
During the attacks in Haifa and other areas of the north, air raid sirens sounded. Earlier, sirens were repeatedly triggered in the Jerusalem area — up to four times per hour. According to preliminary data, there are no casualties or damage.
In addition, the IDF reported that over the past day, the Israeli Air Force has attacked more than 130 targets in the western and central parts of Iran, including ballistic missile launchers.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran, delivering a series of strikes on its territory. The Islamic Republic responded by attacking Israel and American bases in the Middle East, but civilian infrastructure was also under attack.
