"Israel issued an alert early on Wednesday morning, instructing residents to head to shelters as missiles had been launched from Iran and defence systems were working to intercept the threat. The order to seek shelter covered Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other areas across the country."
"From where we are right now in Ramallah, we heard very loud explosions, and they could be because of interceptions, Al Jazeera's Nida Ibrahim reported. Ibrahim said it appeared to be a wide salvo, complicating Israeli air defence efforts."
"Tehran has kept up its retaliatory missile and drone strikes against Israel and across the Gulf, as US President Donald Trump claimed the conflict could last a month. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defence said it intercepted and destroyed two cruise missiles over the al-Kharj governorate."
Iran conducted widespread retaliatory strikes using missiles and drones across the Gulf region as the US-Israel conflict with Iran entered its fifth day. Israel activated air raid sirens across Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and other areas, directing residents to shelters as Iranian missiles approached. Israeli air defense systems intercepted incoming threats, with loud explosions from interceptions reported across the region. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defence intercepted two cruise missiles over al-Kharj, while Kuwait's forces destroyed several hostile aerial targets in its airspace. Israeli emergency services reported no casualties. The escalating conflict prompted US President Donald Trump to suggest the situation could persist for approximately one month.
