As Iran launched hundreds of missiles at the State of Israel, and millions of Israelis hid in their bomb shelters, Magen David Adom released an update saying: “Currently, there are two reported injuries from missile shrapnel and some minor injuries as people ran toward shelter.”

The Israeli security cabinet is set to meet in an underground bunker in Yerushalayim at 7:30pm Israel time. earlier in the day, US officials warned Iran an attack on Israel will result in ‘severe consequences.’ Given the extent of this attack, Israel is likely to respond forcefully.

IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari released a statement announcing the end of the attack, saying:

“Good evening, at this stage, we do not identify any additional aerial threats from Iran. You may leave the protected spaces, and should continue to follow the Home Front Command’s guidelines. I ask you to continue demonstrating responsibility and to be alert.

We have carried out a large number of interceptions. There were a few hits in the center and other areas in the south of the country. At this stage, we are still assessing the situation. We are not aware of any casualties; this is thanks to your responsible conduct.

We ask that you do not provide any information to the enemy and refrain from sharing locations or footage from areas where there have been impacts.

We are on high alert both defensively and offensively. We will defend the citizens of the State of Israel. This attack will have consequences. We have plans, and we will operate at the place and time we decide. I will be here for the rest of the evening to update you with any developments. Continue to act responsibly.”

The IRGC released a statement saying: “Based on a decision by the Supreme National Security Council and with the support of the army, and in response to the assassination of Martyr Ismail Haniyeh, Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Martyr Major General Abbas Nilforoushan, we began striking important military targets in the occupied Palestinian territories with dozens of missiles.
If the Zionist regime responds to the operation, it will face violent attacks.”

Earlier, the IDF said “Approx. 10 million civilians are the targets of Iranian projectiles.,” and warned Israelis to head the orders of the Home Front Command.

Videos circulating online from many areas of Israel including Tel Aviv, the Dead Sea area, the Negev, and by the Kosel in Yerushalayim show Iranian missiles falling towards Israel.

Israeli, Jordanian, and Iraqi airspace are all currently closed, flights heading towards Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv have turned around.
