Overview
- Air raid sirens sounded across central and southern Israel after midnight Monday as a missile launched from Iran was intercepted with no reported injuries.
- Falling fragments struck Bnei Brak and Moshav Gat Rimon and caused damage in Petah Tikva, with an additional structure hit by a weapons fragment near Ashkelon.
- In Gush Dan, sirens were activated without prior Home Front Command app alerts, which local officials said was due to concern about interceptor debris.
- The IDF said it is deepening strikes in Iran and Lebanon and reported an interception rate above 95 percent during the operation.
- Spokesperson Effie Defrin said failed interceptions near Dimona and Arad stemmed from unrelated causes, and earlier northern launches caused no direct hits with one projectile initially assessed to have fallen in Lebanon.
