Breaking News: Israel intercepts missiles as Iran launches of retaliatory strikes - Filipino Subtitle
Iran has launched a wave of strikes toward Israel in retaliation for last week’s deadly Israeli strike on an Iranian embassy complex in Syria, in an unprecedented move by Tehran that could further widen the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
More than 200 “threats” including missiles and drones were launched toward Israel on Saturday night, according to Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Daniel Hagari. Many were intercepted by Israel’s aerial defense systems including fighter jets, he also said.
“Our planes are still in the air intercepting targets and we are ready for any threat that will come to Israel,” Hagari said.
There have been no reports of injuries suffered directly through Iranian strikes, according to Israel’s emergency service.
As news of the attack broke, public shelters were opened in the northern Israeli city of Haifa and large public gatherings banned. Israel closed its airspace, as did nearby Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon.
