In a major escalation, Iran launched over 400 ballistic missiles at Israel tonight, sparking intense concern in the region. The attack triggered air raid sirens across Israel, prompting residents to seek shelter in bunkers. Israel’s defense system managed to intercept and destroy a significant number of the incoming missiles, averting potential large-scale destruction.
Authorities in Israel have urged citizens to stay alert and be prepared to head to safety whenever alarms are sounded. This guidance is aimed at ensuring maximum safety for civilians during this time of heightened tensions. Footage from various cities showed Israelis swiftly responding to the warnings by moving to designated bunkers and safe zones.
The international community has quickly reacted to this crisis. U.S. President Joe Biden has assured full support to Israel, stating that America will help in every way possible to counter the threat. The U.S. is reportedly keeping close communication with the Israeli government and is prepared to offer both diplomatic and logistical support. Meanwhile, world leaders are calling for restraint from both sides to prevent the situation from further spiraling out of control.
The atmosphere remains tense as the conflict escalates, with many closely watching the developments in hopes of a peaceful resolution.
