JERUSALEM: Israel’s military said Tuesday that its air defenses were activated in response to missiles fired by Iran, shortly after it announced that it had launched a “wave” of air strikes on Iran.

“A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel. Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat,” the Israeli military said on its official Telegram channel.
