Israel says missiles launched from Iran, air defences activated

The launch of numerous missiles from Iran was detected over Israel, triggering air defence systems to “intercept the threat”, the Israeli military said on Friday. 

"Warning messages have been sent to members of the public via mobile phones," the military said.

“Enter protected spaces upon receiving the alert and remain in them until a new announcement. Exit from the protected space will be permitted only after receiving an explicit directive,” the military added.
