Jerusalem, June 17 (AFP/APP/DNA):Loud booms were heard over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Tuesday, AFP journalists reported, after air raid sirens sounded in several parts of Israel and the military warned of incoming Iranian missiles.
“A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel,” the military said in a statement.
It added that the air force was “operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat.”
Around 20 minutes later, the army released a statement saying people were allowed to leave protected spaces in several areas across the country.
It said search and rescue teams were operating in several locations where “reports of fallen projectiles were received.”
