Tel Aviv: Sirens sounded across northern Israel and the Golan Heights on Saturday morning as Iran launched a series of missile attacks targeting the country. Minutes later, sirens were triggered in Central Israel, signaling that additional threats were incoming. Soon after, the Israeli military issued a nationwide alert following the detection of another missile launch, urging citizens to move to protected spaces and remain vigilant.
The strikes come shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that American forces had begun operations against Iran. In a pre-recorded message, Trump called on the Iranian people to “take over your government; it will be yours to take,” while stressing that the U.S. objective is to protect its citizens by neutralizing imminent threats posed by the Iranian regime. He also reaffirmed that Iran would not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
Israeli authorities quickly mobilized air defense systems in response to the missile salvo, coordinating efforts to intercept incoming rockets and safeguard population centers. Officials emphasized that all citizens should follow civil defense protocols and remain near secure locations until the threat subsides.
The escalation follows U.S.-Israeli military operations aimed at dismantling Iran’s missile, naval, and nuclear capabilities. Analysts warn that the missile launches may be a retaliatory move by Tehran, potentially triggering further conflict in the region. Meanwhile, both Israeli and American forces remain on high alert, monitoring developments closely to prevent additional strikes and maintain regional security.
As the situation unfolds, authorities continue to issue updates, urging residents to stay informed and adhere to safety instructions while international observers watch for any sign of escalation.
