Iran fired ballistic missiles into Israel on Tuesday as tensions in the Middle East continue to spike, according to multiple reports.
At least 100 missiles were fired in what is likely the first wave of the attack; the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had been expecting a significant strike from Iran, according to Reuters and Axios’ Barak Ravid. Iran has vowed for months to retaliate against Israel for multiple assassinations against the country’s terror proxy leaders, including Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

This is bad — multiple huge ballistic missile impacts around #TelAviv tonight. #Israel will respond hard, that seems inevitable.

“All Israeli civilians are in bomb shelters as rockets from Iran are fired at Israel,” the IDF said in statements on Tuesday. “Approx. 10 million civilians are the targets of Iranian projectiles.”

Another wave of attacks is expected, and Israel and other surrounding Arab states have shut down their airspace, according to multiple reports. The Israeli security cabinet is convening for an emergency meeting in a bunker near Jerusalem, Israeli officials told Ravid.

Multiple air raid alerts went off throughout Israel at the time of the attack, according to reports. Hezbollah had earlier in the day been firing scores of rockets at Israel. Israel is typically able to intercept drone and missile attacks through its Iron Dome air defense system, but footage of the incident captured from various sources appeared to depict missiles hitting targets inside Israel.
