“All Israeli civilians are in bomb shelters as rockets from Iran are fired at Israel,” the IDF said in statements on Tuesday. “Approx. 10 million civilians are the targets of Iranian projectiles.”
A Pentagon official told the Daily Caller News Foundation that “our forces remain postured to provide additional defensive support and to protect U.S. forces operating in the region.”
“In accordance with our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, U.S. forces in the region are currently defending against Iranian-launched missiles targeting Israel,” the official told the DCNF.

Another wave of attacks is expected, and Israel and other surrounding Arab states have shut down their airspace, according to multiple reports. The Israeli security cabinet is convening for an emergency meeting in a bunker near Jerusalem, Israeli officials told Ravid.

Multiple air raid alerts went off throughout Israel at the time of the attack, according to reports. Hezbollah had earlier in the day been firing scores of rockets at Israel. Israel is typically able to intercept drone and missile attacks through its Iron Dome air defense system, but footage of the incident captured from various sources appeared to depict missiles hitting targets inside Israel.
